Jordan, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 124 (2026) § 124.12
CONFLICTS
Operative Text
Where there are conflicts between this chapter and any other provision of the City Code or other state or federal laws, regulations, or rules, the more restrictive shall govern. (Ord. 2017-07, passed 1-2-2018)
Jordan Chapter 124, § 124.12 establishes a conflict-resolution rule for the city's Residential Rental Licensing framework: when this chapter's requirements clash with any other local, state, or federal rule, whichever standard is stricter takes precedence. This means the more demanding obligation—whether it comes from Chapter 124 itself or from an outside body of law—is the one that controls. The provision does not create new substantive duties on its own; it simply determines which rule wins when two rules point in different directions.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to Jordan's Residential Rental Licensing program should be aware that § 124.12 requires compliance with whichever standard is most demanding when Chapter 124 overlaps with other local ordinances, state statutes, or federal regulations. In practice, a compliant operator reviews all applicable layers of law—city, state, and federal—and meets the highest bar across all of them rather than assuming that satisfying one body of law is sufficient. Keeping current with changes to overlapping codes is a routine part of managing licensed rental properties under this framework.

Under Jordan Ch. 124 § 124.12, tenants benefit from a rule that ensures the strongest applicable protection governs whenever Chapter 124 conflicts with another law. If a landlord's conduct appears to satisfy one law but fall short of a stricter overlapping requirement, § 124.12 means the stricter standard still applies. Tenants who believe a conflict between laws is relevant to their situation may consult a local tenant-rights organization or housing authority for general information about which rules apply.
