Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 20, art. III § 20-189 establishes the notice process that must occur before a rental license can be revoked, suspended, denied, or not renewed. The building official, fire chief, or their authorized representative must provide written notice to the property owner or their agent at least 20 days before any hearing on the matter. A copy of that notice must also be sent to the rental unit addressed to 'renter or current occupant,' and mailing by first class mail to the addresses on file from the license application satisfies the service requirement.

For Property Managers

Under Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 20, art. III § 20-189, compliant operators keep their license application contact information current, since first class mail to that address constitutes legally sufficient service of any notice regarding revocation, suspension, denial, or non-renewal. Operators who receive such a notice can expect at least 20 days before the scheduled hearing, giving them time to review the stated basis for the action. Maintaining accurate agent and owner contact details in the license file helps ensure that critical notices actually reach the right people in a timely manner.

For Tenants

Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 20, art. III § 20-189 entitles occupants of a rental unit to receive a copy of any notice related to the revocation, suspension, denial, or non-renewal of their building's rental license, addressed to 'renter or current occupant.' This means tenants may learn of potential licensing actions affecting their home before a hearing takes place. Tenants who receive such a notice may wish to contact a local tenant-rights organization or consult with a housing attorney to understand what the proceeding could mean for their occupancy.
