Jordan, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 124 (2026) § 124.01
PURPOSE
Operative Text
It is the purpose of this chapter to provide minimum standards to promote public safety, to safeguard life, limb, health, property and public welfare by regulating and controlling the use and occupancy, construction and maintenance of all rental dwellings within the city. The provisions contained herein are in addition to other applicable provisions of the City Code and not in lieu thereof. (Ord. 2017-07, passed 1-2-2018)
Jordan Chapter 124 establishes a residential rental licensing framework whose stated purpose is to set minimum standards for safety, health, and welfare in rental housing across the city. The chapter governs how rental dwellings are used, occupied, constructed, and maintained. Importantly, § 124.01 clarifies that these requirements layer on top of other applicable City Code provisions rather than replacing them.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Jordan Ch. 124 § 124.01, rental property operators are expected to meet the minimum standards this chapter sets for occupancy, construction, and maintenance — while also remaining in compliance with all other relevant City Code requirements. Because § 124.01 explicitly states that Chapter 124 is additive and not a substitute for other code provisions, compliant operators generally track obligations across multiple code sections simultaneously. Staying current with the full scope of Jordan's City Code is a common practice among operators seeking to meet the chapter's public-safety objectives.

Jordan Ch. 124 § 124.01 signals that renters in the city are entitled to housing that meets minimum standards for safety, health, and general welfare. Because the chapter supplements rather than replaces other City Code protections, tenants may have recourse under multiple code provisions if conditions in a rental dwelling fall short. Tenants who believe standards are not being met can explore options such as contacting the relevant city department, raising code violations in a legal proceeding, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
