New Richland, Minn., Mun. Code doc-2680 (2026) § 113.09
SUSPENSION AND REVOCATION
Operative Text
(A) A license or temporary certificate once issued or reissued may be suspended upon a finding by the Housing Inspector that one or more of the requirements of this subchapter has been violated. Upon failure of the licensee to comply with a notice of violation, the license may be revoked by the City Council on recommendation of the Housing Inspector. (B) Suspended licenses may be revalidated upon meeting the requirements of this subchapter with payment of 50% of the applicable license and inspection fee. Issuance of a new license after revocation shall be subject to a payment of the full amount of applicable license and inspection fees. (Prior Code, § 350.09)
New Richland Rental Housing Regulations § 113.09 establishes a two-stage enforcement mechanism for rental housing licenses. A Housing Inspector who finds a violation of the subchapter's requirements may suspend an existing license; if the licensee still fails to correct the violation after receiving notice, the City Council may go further and revoke the license entirely on the Inspector's recommendation. Reinstatement after suspension requires meeting all subchapter requirements and paying half the normal license and inspection fee, while reinstatement after full revocation requires payment of the complete fee amount.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 113.09, compliant rental operators in New Richland generally maintain their properties in continuous conformance with the subchapter's requirements so that a Housing Inspector has no grounds to initiate a suspension. Operators who do receive a notice of violation typically address the cited deficiencies promptly, since failure to act can escalate from suspension to a full City Council revocation proceeding. Landlords whose licenses have been suspended should be aware that revalidation carries a fee equal to 50% of the applicable license and inspection fee, while a revoked license requires payment of the full fee schedule before a new license can be issued.

Section 113.09 gives tenants in New Richland an important backdrop of accountability: the Housing Inspector has authority to suspend a landlord's rental license when subchapter requirements are violated, and persistent non-compliance can lead to City Council revocation. Tenants who believe their rental unit is out of compliance with local housing requirements may consider reporting concerns to the Housing Inspector, who is the official empowered to initiate the suspension process under this provision. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New Richland's regulations can help residents understand what options are generally available when a landlord's license is at risk or has been acted upon.
