Maplewood City Code ch. 12, art. XIII § 12-606 establishes that whenever the number or type of rental units at a licensed property changes, the existing rental license must be formally updated through an amendment application. Depending on what changed, the city retains the authority to conduct a new inspection of the property before approving the amended license. This rule ensures that the city's licensing records accurately reflect the current configuration of every rental dwelling.

Under Maplewood City Code ch. 12, art. XIII § 12-606, compliant rental property operators file an amendment to their rental license whenever they alter the number or type of units on the licensed premises — such as converting a single-family home into a duplex or combining two units into one. Operators generally initiate this process promptly after any such change rather than waiting until a renewal cycle. Because the city may require a new property inspection depending on the nature of the changes, maintaining documentation of the work performed can help facilitate that review.

Maplewood City Code ch. 12, art. XIII § 12-606 means that a landlord who changes the number or type of units in a rental property is required to update the property's rental license with the city. If a tenant believes their unit reflects an unlicensed or improperly licensed configuration, they may contact the city's licensing or code enforcement office to inquire about the property's current license status. Tenant-rights organizations in the Maplewood area can also help residents understand what options may be available when a rental property appears to be operating outside its licensed parameters.
