Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 119.027, property owners who sell or otherwise transfer control of a licensed rental dwelling are responsible for submitting written notice to the Mounds View Community Development Department within five business days of the transaction. That notice must include the full name and address of the new owner or controlling party, and a transfer fee per the city's approved fee schedule is due at the time of transfer. Operators who acquire a licensed building generally confirm with the city that the license has been properly transferred into their name for the remaining term.

Section 119.027 requires that any change in ownership or control of a licensed rental dwelling be reported to the Mounds View Community Development Department, helping ensure the city maintains an accurate record of who is responsible for each rental property. Tenants can contact the Community Development Department to verify that a building's rental license is current and properly registered to the current owner. If a building appears to be operating without a valid or properly transferred license, tenants may raise that issue with the city or consult a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
