Maple Grove, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. XII § 10-444
Mandatory training
Operative Text
The owner or property manager of a short-term rental must complete training approved by the department of public safety prior to the issuance of an initial rental license, or upon any change in property ownership.
Maple Grove Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. XII § 10-444 establishes that short-term rental properties cannot receive an initial rental license until the owner or property manager has completed a training program approved by the city's department of public safety. The same training requirement is triggered again whenever ownership of the property changes hands. This rule applies regardless of the size or type of short-term rental operation.

Under Maple Grove Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. XII § 10-444, compliant short-term rental operators typically complete the department of public safety's approved training before submitting their initial license application, and they repeat this step each time the property changes ownership. Keeping documentation of training completion on file is a common practice among operators who want to demonstrate compliance during the licensing process. Operators generally confirm with the department of public safety which specific courses or programs currently satisfy the training requirement.

Maple Grove Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. XII § 10-444 means that any short-term rental you occupy should be operated by an owner or property manager who has completed city-approved safety training as a condition of holding a valid rental license. If you have reason to believe a short-term rental is operating without a properly issued license—or that the training requirement was never met—you may contact the Maple Grove department of public safety to inquire about the property's licensing status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local short-term rental regulations can help you understand what options are generally available to renters in similar situations.
