Maple Grove Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. XII § 10-406 establishes the circumstances under which the city's compliance official may deny, provisionally issue, revoke, or decline to renew a rental property license. Grounds range from misrepresentation on an application and uncorrected code violations to criminal activity on the premises and failure to maintain required services such as garbage collection and snow removal. Once a license is denied, not renewed, or revoked, the owner generally has no more than 30 days before continued occupancy of the affected unit becomes unlawful, and the owner has the right to appeal the compliance official's decision to the city council under § 10-407.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Maple Grove Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. XII § 10-406, compliant rental operators typically ensure that all license applications are accurate and complete, that required fees are paid on time, and that any code violations identified in a notice are corrected within the specified timeframe. Operators also generally maintain required services—such as garbage collection and snow removal—include the mandated lease addendum in every lease, and file disorderly use reports as required. An owner who disagrees with a compliance official's licensing decision has a formal appeal path to the city council under § 10-407, and understanding that process is important given that continued occupancy after a revocation or denial can itself become a violation.

Maple Grove Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. XII § 10-406 directly affects tenants because a rental unit's license status determines whether occupancy of that unit is lawful under city rules. If a license is revoked or denied, the owner is generally given no more than 30 days before further occupancy becomes unlawful, which can affect a tenant's housing situation. Tenants who believe their unit may be operating without a valid license, or who are concerned about conditions that could trigger license action, may wish to contact the city's compliance office, consult a local tenant-rights organization, or review the appeal procedures outlined in § 10-407.
