Maplewood, Minn., City Code ch. 12, art. XIII § 12-609
Notification requirements for public hearings
Operative Text
The licensee must, as a continuing obligation of the license, provide written notice to tenants or in the alternative, post the written notice in the lobby or common area of the rental dwelling for any public hearing notice received by the licensee that pertains to the rental dwelling, the property on which the rental dwelling is located, or any adjacent rights of way.
Maplewood City Code ch. 12, art. XIII § 12-609 establishes an ongoing duty for rental property licensees to pass along public hearing notices that relate to their rental dwelling, its property, or nearby rights of way. When a licensee receives such a notice, the rule requires that tenants either be informed in writing directly or that the notice be posted in a shared space like a lobby or common area. This obligation is not a one-time requirement but a continuing condition of holding the rental license.

Under Maplewood City Code ch. 12, art. XIII § 12-609, compliant rental property operators treat the forwarding of public hearing notices as a standing part of their license obligations, not an optional courtesy. When a relevant notice arrives—whether it concerns the rental dwelling itself, the parcel it sits on, or an adjacent right of way—operators either deliver written notice to each tenant or post the notice visibly in a lobby or common area. Keeping a log of notices received and the steps taken to distribute or post them is a practice consistent with demonstrating ongoing compliance.

Maplewood City Code ch. 12, art. XIII § 12-609 gives tenants a right to be informed about public hearings that could affect their home, the property it sits on, or nearby rights of way. If a landlord receives a relevant public hearing notice and neither delivers written notice to tenants nor posts it in a common area, that may represent a failure to meet a continuing license obligation. Tenants who believe this requirement has not been followed may consider contacting the Maplewood licensing or code enforcement office, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
