Linwood Township, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 8, art. V § 8-331
Issuance
Operative Text
No license shall be issued until all the requirements of this article have been fully met. The town shall issue a rental housing license for each rental dwelling that meets or exceeds the minimum requirements set forth by this article or when a variance has been granted by the town board for good cause shown. Each license shall show the number of rental dwelling units for which the rental dwelling is approved.
Under Linwood Township Code of Ordinances ch. 8, art. V § 8-331, a rental housing license may only be issued after a rental dwelling fully satisfies all requirements set out in Article V, or after the town board has granted a variance for good cause. Once issued, the license specifies the exact number of rental dwelling units that are approved for that property. No license can be granted on a partial or conditional basis simply by meeting some, but not all, of the article's requirements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators seeking a rental housing license under ch. 8, art. V § 8-331 generally ensure that every requirement of Article V is satisfied before submitting for licensure, since the town will not issue a license until full compliance is confirmed. The issued license will state the number of approved rental dwelling units, so compliant operators typically verify that this number accurately reflects the units they intend to rent. If a property cannot meet a specific requirement, operators may pursue a variance through the town board by demonstrating good cause.

Section 8-331 of Linwood Township's rental housing ordinance establishes that any rental dwelling a tenant occupies should hold a valid license confirming it met all Article V requirements at the time of issuance. Tenants can check whether their dwelling is properly licensed and whether the number of units on the license matches the unit they are renting. Those who believe their rental lacks a proper license may consider contacting the township directly, reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization, or exploring whether the absence of a license is relevant to any housing dispute they face.
