Le Sueur, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 93 (2026) § 93.99
PENALTY
Operative Text
In addition to all other remedies provided under this chapter, every person who commits an unfair discriminatory act as set forth in this chapter or aids, abets, incites, compels or coerces another to do so shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. (Ord. 350, passed 5-29-1979) Cross-reference: General penalty, see § 10.99
Le Sueur Ch. 93 Fair Housing § 93.99 establishes that committing an unfair discriminatory act under the chapter—or helping, encouraging, or pressuring someone else to commit such an act—constitutes a misdemeanor offense under local law. This criminal penalty applies on top of any other civil or administrative remedies the chapter already provides. The provision has been in effect since its adoption in May 1979 and cross-references the city's general penalty provision at § 10.99.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating in Le Sueur should be aware that § 93.99 attaches criminal misdemeanor liability to any unfair discriminatory act defined elsewhere in Chapter 93, as well as to any conduct that aids, abets, or coerces such an act. Compliant operators generally maintain non-discriminatory policies in advertising, tenant selection, and lease terms, and ensure that staff and agents are trained accordingly. Because § 93.99 layers criminal exposure on top of other chapter remedies, operators typically review their practices against the full scope of Chapter 93 on a regular basis.
