Operative Text
Licensee must comply with the requirements of Minn. Stats. § 211B.20 and allow access to candidates who have filed for election to public office and seek admittance to the rental dwelling solely for the purpose of campaigning.
Maplewood City Code ch. 12, art. XIII § 12-611 requires rental property licensees to follow Minnesota state law (Minn. Stats. § 211B.20) by permitting political candidates who have officially filed for public office to enter rental dwelling properties for the limited purpose of campaigning. The rule does not grant candidates unlimited access — entry must be sought solely for campaign-related purposes. This provision connects a local licensing obligation to an existing state-level right of candidate access.

Under Maplewood City Code ch. 12, art. XIII § 12-611, compliant rental property licensees generally ensure that their access policies do not block or unreasonably restrict candidates who have filed for public office from entering the property to campaign. Operators familiar with this provision typically understand that denying such access could implicate both local licensing requirements and the underlying state statute, Minn. Stats. § 211B.20. Reviewing property rules and staff procedures to account for this candidate-access obligation is a common practice among operators subject to this code.

Maplewood City Code ch. 12, art. XIII § 12-611 reflects a rule that affects the rental property where tenants live — specifically, it requires the landlord-licensee to allow candidates who have filed for public office to enter for campaigning purposes under Minn. Stats. § 211B.20. Tenants who observe what appears to be a landlord blocking such candidate access may have grounds to raise the issue with local code enforcement or a tenant-rights organization familiar with Maplewood's rental licensing framework. Understanding this provision can help tenants recognize when a landlord's access policies may conflict with their licensing obligations.
