Kasson, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 96 (2026) § 96.24
NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Operative Text
Whenever the investigation of an application for registration certificate indicated that the dwelling, apartment or rooming unit offered for rent does not comply with the provisions of this code, the City Administrator shall serve a notice to the applicant at his or her address indicated on the application for registration certificate. (Prior Code, § 28-6) (Ord. 800, passed - -)
Under Kasson Ch. 96 § 96.24, when the City Administrator's review of a registration certificate application reveals that a dwelling, apartment, or rooming unit does not meet the city's housing code requirements, the City Administrator is required to formally notify the applicant of that non-compliance. The notice is delivered to the address the applicant provided on their registration application. This provision establishes the official mechanism by which code deficiencies discovered during the registration process are communicated to the party seeking to rent the unit.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Kasson Ch. 96 § 96.24, compliant operators ensure that the address listed on their registration certificate application is current and accurate, since that is where the City Administrator will send any notice of code violations discovered during the review process. Property owners and managers who receive such a notice have been formally informed that the subject dwelling, apartment, or rooming unit did not pass the registration inspection. Operators generally treat receipt of a notice under this section as a prompt to identify and address the specific code deficiencies before proceeding with renting the unit.

Kasson Ch. 96 § 96.24 establishes that the City Administrator must notify a landlord when a rental unit they applied to register does not meet the city's housing code — meaning a unit with known violations should be flagged before it is legally offered for rent. Tenants who suspect a unit was rented to them without a valid registration certificate, or despite outstanding code violations, may wish to contact the City Administrator's office to inquire about the unit's registration status. Consulting a local tenant-rights organization can help tenants understand what options are generally available when a unit may not have been in compliance at the time of rental.
