Moorhead Ch. 1105 § 9-7-1-1 establishes how the city's rental registration program is managed at the administrative level. Under this provision, the city manager holds the authority to appoint a director of rental registration and to delegate program administration duties to other city staff as deemed necessary. The provision does not itself impose obligations on landlords or tenants, but it defines who within city government is responsible for overseeing and enforcing the rental registration program.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Moorhead Ch. 1105 § 9-7-1-1, the rental registration program is administered by city staff designated by the city manager, which means landlords interact with those designated officials when registering rental properties or responding to enforcement actions. Compliant operators generally direct registration inquiries, submissions, and correspondence to the director of rental registration or other authorized city staff. Knowing which city office administers the program helps property owners ensure their filings and communications reach the correct authority.

Moorhead Ch. 1105 § 9-7-1-1 establishes that the city manager designates specific staff to administer and enforce the rental registration program, meaning tenants have identifiable city officials to contact if they believe a landlord is not in compliance with registration requirements. Tenants who have concerns about whether their rental unit is properly registered can reach out to the designated director of rental registration or other authorized city staff. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Moorhead's rental regulations can also help identify the appropriate city contact and explain available options.
