New Richland, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 113 (2026) § 113.30
REVOCATION OF LICENSE
Operative Text
Upon an license holder’s third conviction in two years for any violation of the terms and conditions of this subchapter or the terms and conditions of any provision of the city’s nuisance ordinances, the license shall be reviewed by the City Council for possible revocation and, upon a fourth violation in two years, it shall be automatically revoked by the City Council. Upon either situation, the applicant shall be entitled to an opportunity for a hearing before the City Council to address the revocation issue. The request for hearing shall be filed with the City Administrator within ten working days of the City Administrator’s notice of revocation. In the event that the time parameter set forth herein is not complied with, then the license holder shall be deemed to have waived their right to a hearing on the suspension issue. (Ord. 360, passed 9-25-2023)
New Richland Ch. 113 § 113.30 establishes a two-tier consequence system for rental license holders who accumulate violations of the housing subchapter or the city's nuisance ordinances within a two-year window. A third conviction triggers a City Council review for possible revocation, while a fourth conviction results in automatic revocation. In either case, the license holder has the right to request a hearing before the City Council, but that request must be filed with the City Administrator within ten working days of the revocation notice, or the right to a hearing is forfeited.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to New Richland Ch. 113 § 113.30 generally maintain compliance with both the housing subchapter and the city's nuisance ordinances to avoid accumulating convictions that could jeopardize their rental license. Compliant operators track any prior violations carefully, since the two-year lookback period means that a third conviction triggers Council review and a fourth triggers automatic revocation. If a revocation notice is received, the ten-working-day window to file a hearing request with the City Administrator is a hard deadline that compliant operators treat with urgency.

Under New Richland Ch. 113 § 113.30, tenants living in properties whose landlords have accumulated repeated violations of housing or nuisance rules may find that the city's license-revocation process provides a layer of accountability. If a landlord reaches a third or fourth conviction within two years, the City Council becomes involved in reviewing or revoking the rental license, which can be relevant context when raising habitability or nuisance concerns with local officials. Tenants who believe their landlord has a pattern of violations may wish to contact the City Administrator's office or a local tenant-rights organization to understand how this provision interacts with their situation.
