Jordan, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 124 (2026) § 124.08
UNLAWFUL CONDUCT VIOLATIONS
Operative Text
(A) Unlawful conduct at a rental dwelling shall be determined and handled by the Police Department. (B) A determination that unlawful conduct has occurred at a rental dwelling shall be made upon the Police Department determining that it has probable cause to support such a determination and shall be subject to Minnesota Statutes § 504B.205, subd. 3. It shall not be necessary that criminal charges be brought to support a determination of unlawful conduct, nor shall the fact of dismissal or acquittal of such a criminal charge operate as a bar to adverse license action under this chapter based on such unlawful conduct. (C) Upon notification from the Police Department to the Code Official that there have been 3 or more incidents of unlawful conduct at a rental dwelling with a 36 month period, the Code Official shall send a written warning to the owner of such rental dwelling, notifying the owner that: (1) If there is an additional event of unlawful conduct at the identified rental dwelling within the 12 month period following the date of the warning, such unlawful conduct shall constitute a violation of this chapter and shall entitle the city to the remedies set forth herein, including the revocation, suspension, non-renewal or denial of a rental license; (2) Within 10 days after the Code Official's issuance of the written warning, the owner shall submit to the Code Official and the Police Department, a written management plan detailing the actions taken and proposed to be taken by the owner to prevent further unlawful conduct at the identified rental dwelling; (3) Within 20 days after the acceptance of the management plan by the Code Official and the Police Department, the owner shall implement all the provisions of the management plan; and (4) If the owner fails to submit or implement a management plan as required, such failure shall constitute a violation of this section and shall entitle the city to the remedies set forth herein, including the revocation, suspension, non-renewal or denial of a rental license. (D) If the owner fails to provide or implement a management plan within the period required, or there is an event of unlawful conduct at the rental dwelling within 12 months after the written warning, such failure shall be a violation under this chapter. (Ord. 2017-07, passed 1-2-2018)
Jordan Ch. 124 § 124.08 establishes a process by which repeated incidents of unlawful conduct at a rental dwelling can trigger licensing consequences for the property owner. The Jordan Police Department determines whether unlawful conduct has occurred based on probable cause, and a formal criminal conviction is not required for this determination to stand. Once three or more incidents are recorded within a 36-month window, the city's Code Official issues a written warning, and any additional incident within the following 12 months—or a failure to submit and implement a management plan—can result in license revocation, suspension, non-renewal, or denial.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Jordan Ch. 124 § 124.08, compliant rental property operators generally stay informed about police activity at their properties and respond promptly to any written warning issued by the Code Official. Upon receiving such a warning, an operator typically submits a written management plan to both the Code Official and the Police Department within 10 days, and fully implements that plan within 20 days of its acceptance. Operators are aware that license revocation, suspension, non-renewal, or denial are among the remedies available to the city if a management plan is not submitted, implemented, or if another unlawful conduct incident occurs within the 12-month warning period.

Jordan Ch. 124 § 124.08 affects tenants because repeated incidents of unlawful conduct at their rental dwelling can set in motion a process that may ultimately result in the property's rental license being revoked, suspended, or not renewed. Tenants who believe their landlord is not addressing safety or conduct issues at the property may contact the Jordan Police Department or the Code Official to understand how this provision applies to their building. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Minnesota landlord-tenant law, including Minnesota Statutes § 504B.205, can help tenants understand what options may be available when a property's licensing status is at issue.
