Frazee, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 2 (2026) § 9-2-3
REGISTRATION REQUIRED
Operative Text
A. No person or entity may hereafter occupy, allow to be occupied or rent, lease, let or sublet a rental unit to another person or entity for occupancy unless that rental unit is registered for occupancy pursuant to a valid and current rental unit registration issued by the City Council or Administrator. B. No person or entity may charge, accept, or retain rent for any rental unit unless the rental unit has a valid and current registration. C. An unregistered rental unit shall be considered a new rental unit and must comply with all applicable Federal, State and local codes and ordinances to be eligible for a registration. D. Any person or entity having an ownership interest in any rental unit, upon a second violation of this section, shall be ineligible to hold or have an interest in a rental unit registration for a period of two (2) years. (Ord. 151, 9-10-2018)
Frazee Ch. 2 Rental Units § 9-2-3 establishes that every rental unit in the city must carry a valid, current registration issued by the City Council or Administrator before it can be occupied, rented, or subleased. Collecting or keeping rent on an unregistered unit is also prohibited. A unit that loses its registered status is treated as a brand-new unit and must satisfy all applicable federal, state, and local codes before it can be registered again. Owners who commit a second violation of this section lose the right to hold or have any interest in a rental unit registration for two years.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 9-2-3, compliant rental property operators in Frazee ensure that every unit they own, manage, or lease out holds a valid and current registration from the City Council or Administrator before any tenant moves in or rent is collected. Operators generally track registration renewal deadlines to avoid a lapse that would prohibit them from accepting rent and could trigger the unit being reclassified as a new unit subject to full code compliance review. A second violation under this section carries the significant consequence of a two-year bar on holding or having any interest in a rental unit registration, making timely compliance a priority for anyone with an ownership stake.

§ 9-2-3 gives tenants in Frazee a basis to question whether their unit is properly registered, since a landlord is prohibited from charging or retaining rent for any unregistered unit. Tenants who believe their unit may lack a valid, current registration can inquire with the City Council or Administrator to verify the unit's registration status. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help explain what remedies or defenses may be available under this provision, including how an owner's second violation — which triggers a two-year registration bar — might affect a tenancy.
