EXEMPTIONS
Operative Text
This Chapter does not apply to: A. Hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, nursing homes, or state licensed residential care facilities. B. Individual sleeping rooms within an otherwise owner-occupied residence, or rentals where the owner is present for the duration of the rental. (Ord. 591, 12-3-2024; amd. Ord. 602, 9-16-2025)
Mendota Heights Ch. 1301 Multi-Family Residential Maintenance Code § 3-5A-6 carves out certain property types from the chapter's requirements entirely. Transient lodging establishments—such as hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, nursing homes, and state-licensed residential care facilities—fall outside the code's scope. Similarly, individual sleeping rooms rented within an owner-occupied home, or any rental where the owner remains on the premises for the full duration of the tenancy, are also excluded from coverage.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of multi-family residential properties in Mendota Heights should be aware that § 3-5A-6 lists the specific property categories that sit outside Ch. 1301's maintenance requirements. Owners of hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, nursing homes, or state-licensed residential care facilities generally do not need to comply with this chapter's standards. Landlords who rent individual sleeping rooms within their own occupied home, or who remain present on the property throughout the rental period, similarly fall outside the chapter's reach—though other local or state regulations may still apply to those arrangements.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 3-5A-6 of Mendota Heights Ch. 1301, tenants living in hotels, motels, nursing homes, or state-licensed residential care facilities are not covered by this maintenance code. Tenants renting a sleeping room within an owner-occupied home, or in a situation where the owner is present for the entire rental, are likewise excluded from the chapter's protections.
