Jordan, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 124 (2026) § 124.10
REVOCATION OR SUSPENSION OF RENTAL LICENSE
Operative Text
(A) In addition to its powers under City Code, the City Council may revoke, suspend, deny or decline to renew any rental license applied for or issued under this chapter based on any of the following circumstances: (1) The rental license was procured by misrepresentation of material facts with regard to a rental dwelling or the ownership of a rental dwelling. (2) The applicant, or one acting in the applicant's behalf, made oral or written misstatements accompanying the application. (3) The applicant has failed to comply with any condition set forth in any other permits/licenses granted by the city. (4) The activities of the owner and/or tenant, or the conditions of the rental dwelling or the building of which such rental dwelling is a part, or any portion thereof, create or have created a danger to the public health, safety or welfare. (5) Failure to correct violations of the City's Property Maintenance Code in the time period specified in the notice of violation and correction. (6) Failure to continuously comply with any condition required of the applicant for the approval or maintenance of the rental license. (7) Failure to include the crime free/drug free lease addendum in all leases as required by § 124.06 (B). (8) A violation under § 124.08 (D). (9) Any other violation of this chapter. (B) Prior to any revocation, suspension, denial or declination by the City Council under this section, the Code Official shall send written notice to the owner specifying the ordinance or law violations with which they are accused and the affected rental dwelling. The notice shall also specify the date for the hearing before the City Council, which shall not be less than 10 days from the date of the notice. At the hearing before the City Council, the owner or their representative may submit and present evidence on their behalf. After the hearing, the City Council may revoke, suspend, deny or decline to renew the rental license. (C) If the affected rental dwelling is within a building containing more than 1 rental dwelling owned by the same owner, the revocation, suspension, denial or declination may apply to 1 or more rental dwellings within that building, at the discretion of the City Council. (D) If a rental license is suspended, revoked or not renewed pursuant to this chapter, then until such time as a valid rental license has been restored it shall be unlawful for the owner to thereafter permit any occupancy of the formerly licensed rental dwelling by a tenant. The affected rental dwelling shall be vacated by all tenants, giving tenants a reasonable time to arrange new housing and to move their possessions. (E) Rental licenses may be suspended for up to 120 days and may, after the period of suspension, be reinstated subject to compliance with this section and any conditions imposed by the city at the time of suspension. Rental licenses that are revoked shall not be reinstated for a period of up to 120 days and until the owner has applied for and secured a new rental license and complied with all conditions imposed at the time of revocation and all applicable sections of the City Code. (Ord. 2017-07, passed 1-2-2018)
Jordan Ch. 124 § 124.10 establishes the grounds and process by which the City Council may revoke, suspend, deny, or decline to renew a residential rental license. Grounds include misrepresentation on an application, failure to correct property maintenance violations, public health or safety hazards, and other violations of Chapter 124. Before any such action is taken, the Code Official must provide written notice to the owner at least 10 days before a hearing, at which the owner may present evidence. If a license is suspended, it may be withheld for up to 120 days; if revoked, a new license cannot be obtained for up to 120 days after full compliance is achieved.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Jordan Ch. 124 § 124.10, compliant rental property operators ensure that all license applications are accurate and complete, that leases include the required crime free/drug free addendum as specified in § 124.06(B), and that any property maintenance violations are corrected within the timeframes stated in notices of violation. Operators who receive a written notice of a potential revocation or suspension proceeding are entitled to appear before the City Council and present evidence on their behalf at least 10 days after notice is issued. Maintaining continuous compliance with all conditions attached to a rental license is the standard practice for avoiding license suspension or revocation under this section.

Jordan Ch. 124 § 124.10 provides that if a rental license is revoked, suspended, or not renewed, the affected dwelling must be vacated, but tenants are entitled to a reasonable amount of time to arrange new housing and move their belongings. Tenants who believe their housing situation involves conditions that may trigger this provision—such as unaddressed health or safety hazards—may wish to contact the city's Code Official or a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options. Because a license action under § 124.10 can directly affect occupancy rights, tenants facing displacement may benefit from consulting a tenant advocacy resource familiar with Jordan's municipal code.
