New Richland, Minn., Mun. Code doc-2680 (2026) § 113.08
TRANSFER
Operative Text
No license nor any temporary certificate issued under this subchapter shall be transferrable except by application to the City Clerk-Treasurer and a report and recommendation of transfer by the city’s Housing Inspector. No refunds shall be made for unused periods on any license. (Prior Code, § 350.08)
New Richland Rental Housing Regulations § 113.08 establishes that rental housing licenses and temporary certificates issued under this subchapter cannot simply be passed from one party to another automatically. Any transfer requires a formal application to the City Clerk-Treasurer, along with a report and recommendation from the city's Housing Inspector. Additionally, the provision makes clear that license fees are non-refundable for any unused portion of the license period, regardless of circumstances.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 113.08, property owners and managers who sell or otherwise transfer a licensed rental property should be aware that the existing license or temporary certificate does not automatically carry over to a new owner or operator. A compliant operator initiates a transfer application with the City Clerk-Treasurer and coordinates with the city's Housing Inspector to obtain the required report and recommendation before assuming the license is valid under new ownership. Operators also account for the fact that no refund will be issued for any unused portion of a license period when planning transactions.

Section § 113.08 of the New Richland Rental Housing Regulations governs how rental housing licenses may be transferred, which can be relevant to tenants when a property changes hands. If a property is sold or transferred without the proper application to the City Clerk-Treasurer and the required Housing Inspector report, the new operator may be functioning without a validly transferred license. Tenants who have concerns about whether their building's license is properly held following an ownership change may consider contacting the City Clerk-Treasurer's office or a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options are available.
