Mankato Code of Ordinances ch. 7 § 7-50 establishes rules about how rental license information must be made accessible to tenants and the public. While landlords are not required to physically post their license on the property, they must share a copy of the current license with any tenant or prospective tenant who asks, and must include the license number in any written lease. Additionally, a notice with the owner's or managing agent's name, email, and phone number must be visibly posted near the exterior entrance of any non-owner-occupied rental unit.

For Property Managers

Under Mankato Code of Ordinances ch. 7 § 7-50, compliant rental operators keep a current copy of their rental license readily available to share with tenants or prospective tenants upon request. When preparing written lease agreements, operators include the current rental license number directly in the lease document. For non-owner-occupied units, operators also maintain a clearly visible informational notice near the exterior entrance that lists the owner's or managing agent's name, email address, and phone number.

For Tenants

Mankato Code of Ordinances ch. 7 § 7-50 gives tenants and prospective tenants the right to receive a copy of the property's current rental license simply by asking the landlord or their agent. If a written lease is used, tenants can expect to see the rental license number included in that document. Tenants who believe these requirements are not being met may consider contacting the City of Mankato's relevant licensing or code enforcement office, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance on available options.
