Hutchinson, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 122 (2026) § 122.14
INTERIM HOUSING
Operative Text
As a condition of receiving a rental unit registration, the registration holder agrees that in the event that the registration is denied, suspended, revoked or not renewed due to the action or inaction of the registration holder, all tenants or sub-tenants of the residential rental unit shall be provided, at the registration holder’s expense, suitable interim housing approved by the Fire Chief or his or her designee. The registration holder shall provide such interim housing until the registration for the unit is restored or until the end of the lease term, which ever is shorter. Failure of the registration holder to provide and/or pay for such interim housing shall be grounds for adverse action at all rental unit registrations the registration holder has in the city. (2004 Code, § 122.14) (Ord. 07-0482, passed 2-26-2008)
Under Hutchinson Ch. 122 Rental Unit Registration § 122.14, when a landlord's rental registration is denied, suspended, revoked, or not renewed because of something the registration holder did or failed to do, the landlord must pay for suitable temporary housing for all affected tenants and sub-tenants. This interim housing must be approved by the Fire Chief or a designee, and the obligation lasts until the registration is restored or the lease term ends, whichever comes first. The provision ties compliance to the registration holder's entire portfolio: failing to provide or fund interim housing can trigger adverse action against all of that landlord's city registrations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to § 122.14 generally maintain their rental unit registrations in good standing to avoid triggering the interim-housing obligation in the first place. If a registration is lost due to the holder's own action or inaction, compliant operators promptly arrange and fund Fire Chief-approved temporary accommodations for every affected tenant and sub-tenant for the required duration. Because § 122.14 extends consequences to all city registrations a holder maintains, property managers with multiple units have a strong operational interest in keeping each individual registration current and in good standing.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 122.14 of the Hutchinson Rental Unit Registration code gives tenants and sub-tenants the right to have their landlord pay for suitable interim housing if the landlord's registration is denied, suspended, revoked, or not renewed due to the landlord's own conduct. This housing must be approved by the Fire Chief or a designee and must continue until the registration is restored or the lease term ends, whichever is shorter. Tenants who believe a landlord is failing to meet this obligation may consider contacting the city's relevant code enforcement or fire department office, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options under § 122.14.
