Jackson, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 97 (2026) § 97.09
OCCUPANCY LIMITATIONS
Operative Text
Occupancy limitations shall be as set forth in the Housing Code. (Ord. 19, 6 th Series, passed 4-3-2007)
Under Jackson Ch. 97 Rental Housing Minimum Maintenance § 97.09, the number of people who may occupy a rental unit is governed by the standards established in the Housing Code. This provision does not set independent occupancy limits itself but instead incorporates the Housing Code's requirements by reference, making those limits enforceable under the rental housing maintenance framework. The rule ensures that occupancy standards are consistent across both codes.
Plain English — not legal advice.
