Hoyt Lakes, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 153 (2026) § 153.17
WRITTEN NOTICES
Operative Text
Notices from the city required by this chapter shall be effective if personally delivered or if mailed to the addressee by first class mail to the address shown in the city file pertaining to the rental unit involved in the notice. (Ord. 236, passed 11-28-2022)
Under Hoyt Lakes Ch. 153 Long-Term Rentals § 153.17, any official notice that the city is required to send under Chapter 153 is considered legally effective when it is either hand-delivered to the recipient or sent by first-class mail to the address on file with the city for the rental unit in question. The rule establishes two acceptable delivery methods and ties the mailing address to whatever the city's records show for that unit. A notice meeting either standard is treated as properly served regardless of whether the recipient actually reads it.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Hoyt Lakes Ch. 153 should be aware that § 153.17 governs how the city delivers official notices to parties connected to a rental unit. Compliant operators generally keep their contact information and property address current in the city's rental file, since a first-class mailing to the address on record is sufficient to make a notice legally effective. Maintaining accurate records with the city helps ensure that important Chapter 153 communications are received in a timely manner.

Under § 153.17 of Hoyt Lakes Ch. 153 Long-Term Rentals, city notices related to your rental unit are considered valid once mailed by first-class mail to the address the city has on file—even if you do not personally receive them. Tenants may want to confirm that the city's file reflects a current and accurate address for their unit, so that any Chapter 153 notices reach them promptly. If you believe a notice was improperly delivered or that the city's records contain an incorrect address, a tenant-rights organization or local housing authority may be able to help you understand your options.
