Fairmont, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 27 (2026) § 27-11
Effect of revocation, suspension, denial, or non-renewal
Operative Text
(a) If a license is revoked, suspended, denied or not renewed, it shall be unlawful for the owner or owner's representative to permit the occupancy of the rental housing unit(s), until such time as a valid rental license is obtained. Issuance of a new license after revocation, suspension, denial or non-renewal shall be made in the manner provided for in section 27-6 . (b) A separate violation occurs for each day the owner or owner's representative permits occupancy without a rental license, or after a license is revoked, suspended, denied, or not renewed. (Ord. No. 2021-03, 11-22-21; Ord. No. 2025-04, 7-28-25)
Fairmont Ch. 27 Rental Housing Standards § 27-11 establishes that once a rental license is revoked, suspended, denied, or not renewed, allowing tenants to occupy the affected unit becomes unlawful until a valid license is reinstated. Reinstatement follows the process outlined in § 27-6. Critically, each day that occupancy continues without a valid license counts as a separate, independent violation—meaning the total exposure compounds daily rather than being treated as a single offense.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 27-11, compliant operators in Fairmont treat a revocation, suspension, denial, or non-renewal as an immediate trigger to halt new occupancy and address the licensing deficiency without delay. Because each day of unlicensed occupancy constitutes its own separate violation, operators generally move quickly to either vacate the affected unit or restore licensure through the § 27-6 process. Maintaining organized records of license status and renewal deadlines is a common practice among operators seeking to avoid the compounding exposure this section creates.

Section § 27-11 of Fairmont's Rental Housing Standards means that a landlord who allows occupancy after a license has been revoked, suspended, denied, or not renewed is committing a violation for every single day that situation continues. Tenants who believe their unit is being rented without a valid license may wish to check the status of their unit's rental license through local municipal records or contact Fairmont's code enforcement office to report a potential violation. Tenant-rights organizations can help explain what options may be available, including whether an unlicensed tenancy affects other rights or remedies under local law.
