Emily, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 150 (2026) § 150.42
METHOD OF SERVICE
Operative Text
(A) Such a notice shall be deemed to be properly served if a copy thereof is: (1) Delivered to the owner personally; or (2) Sent by mail addressed to the owner at the last known address with return receipt requested. (B) If the letter is returned showing that the letter was not delivered or was unable to be served by law enforcement, a copy thereof shall be posted in a conspicuous place in or about the structure affected by such notice. Service of such notice in the foregoing manner upon the owner’s agent or upon the person responsible for the structure shall constitute service of notice upon the owner. (Ord. passed - -2012)
Emily Ch. 150 Rental Properties § 150.42 establishes the acceptable methods by which official notices related to rental property structures are considered legally delivered. A notice is valid when handed directly to the property owner, sent by certified mail with return receipt to the owner's last known address, or — if mail delivery fails — posted conspicuously on or near the affected structure. Service made on the owner's agent or the person responsible for the structure carries the same legal weight as service on the owner directly.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Emily Ch. 150 Rental Properties § 150.42, compliant property owners and managers generally ensure that current contact information and mailing addresses are kept up to date with the relevant authority, so that official notices can be successfully delivered. Operators who designate an agent or property manager should be aware that notices served on that representative are treated as legally effective service on the owner. Staying informed about any certified mail correspondence or postings on managed properties helps operators respond to official notices within any applicable deadlines.

Emily Ch. 150 Rental Properties § 150.42 governs how official notices are formally delivered to property owners, which can be relevant to tenants when a landlord claims not to have received a required notice. If a notice was properly posted on the building or served on the owner's agent in accordance with this provision, that service is legally valid regardless of whether the owner personally received it. Tenants who believe a landlord is disputing receipt of a notice may find it useful to consult a local tenant-rights organization or review records of how and when service was completed.
