New Richland, Minn., Mun. Code doc-2680 (2026) § 113.05
ISSUANCE OF TEMPORARY CERTIFICATE
Operative Text
Upon receipt of a completed application for a license, the payment of necessary fees as set forth in this subchapter the City Clerk-Treasurer shall issue a temporary certificate indicating that a license has been duly applied for and that the license shall be issued or denied after the building has been inspected for compliance with the minimal provisions of the Uniform Housing Code, including those set forth in the minimum standards for rental housing in the city which are incorporated into and made a part of this subchapter by reference. The temporary certificate as issued shall authorize continued occupancy, without penalty, of the dwelling units in actual existence and use on the effective date of this subchapter, pending the issuance or denial of the applied for license. No structure intended for use as a rental housing unit shall be occupied for human habitation without the license or temporary certificate described in this subchapter. (Prior Code, § 350.05)
New Richland Rental Housing Regulations § 113.05 establishes a two-step process for rental housing licensing: once a landlord submits a completed application and pays the required fees, the City Clerk-Treasurer issues a temporary certificate that allows existing occupied units to remain in use while the property awaits a full inspection under the Uniform Housing Code. The temporary certificate serves as a placeholder authorization, keeping occupancy lawful during the review period. No rental unit may be occupied for human habitation at any point without either a valid license or this temporary certificate in place.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 113.05, compliant rental property operators submit a completed license application along with all required fees to the City Clerk-Treasurer, which triggers issuance of a temporary certificate covering currently occupied units. Operators generally retain documentation of both the temporary certificate and the subsequent license to demonstrate continuous lawful authorization. Because no rental unit may be occupied without one of these two authorizations, property managers typically ensure that neither new nor existing tenants occupy a unit during any gap in coverage.

Section § 113.05 of the New Richland Rental Housing Regulations provides that a rental unit cannot lawfully be occupied for human habitation unless the landlord holds either a valid license or a temporary certificate issued by the City Clerk-Treasurer. Tenants may want to be aware of whether their unit is covered by one of these authorizations, as the absence of either could indicate a compliance issue with the property. Tenants who have concerns about their landlord's licensing status may consider contacting the City Clerk-Treasurer's office directly or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance on available options.
