Maplewood City Code ch. 12, art. XIII § 12-607 requires that rental property operators maintain a current license at all times, which means tracking the expiration date assigned by the building official and submitting a renewal application before that date arrives. Compliant operators typically build reminders into their property management calendars well ahead of the deadline to avoid a lapse in licensure. Allowing a license to expire before renewal is submitted may constitute a violation of this division.

Maplewood City Code ch. 12, art. XIII § 12-607 establishes that rental licenses must be renewed annually, which means tenants may have grounds to inquire whether their landlord holds a current, valid license. If a landlord appears to be operating without a valid license, tenants can contact the Maplewood building official's office to verify license status or report a potential lapse.
