Grand Rapids, Minn., Mun. Code ch. 28 (2026) § 28-79
Notices
Operative Text
Whenever a notice is required to be sent or served under this chapter, notice shall be deemed sufficient if sent by first class mail to the owner or resident agent at the address(es) specified in the last permit application filed with the city, and said notice shall also be posted on the rental unit or dwelling. HISTORY Adopted by Ord. 21-02-01 on 2/22/2021
Grand Rapids Rental Housing Code § 28-79 establishes how official notices under Chapter 28 are validly delivered: a notice is considered legally sufficient when it is sent by first-class mail to the address the owner or resident agent listed on their most recent permit application with the city, and when a copy is also posted on the rental unit or dwelling itself. Both steps — mailing and posting — are part of what makes a notice complete under this rule. This provision does not create new substantive obligations but defines the procedural standard for notice throughout the chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 28-79, property owners and resident agents operating under Grand Rapids' Rental Housing Code should ensure that the address on file with the city in their most recent permit application is current and accurate, since that is the address to which official Chapter 28 notices will be mailed. Compliant operators also expect that any such notice will be physically posted on the affected rental unit or dwelling. Keeping permit application contact information up to date is a routine practice that helps ensure notices actually reach the right person in a timely manner.

Section § 28-79 of the Grand Rapids Rental Housing Code means that when the city sends a required notice under Chapter 28, a copy should also be posted directly on the rental unit or dwelling — giving residents a way to see that official action has been taken. If a tenant believes a required notice was not properly posted or delivered in accordance with this provision, that procedural question may be relevant in any subsequent code enforcement proceeding. Tenant-rights organizations in the Grand Rapids area can help residents understand how notice requirements interact with their broader rights under the Rental Housing Code.
