New Richland, Minn., Mun. Code doc-2680 (2026) § 113.12
TERMS
Operative Text
(A) It shall be unlawful for any lessor to rent a rental housing unit to a tenant in violation of this subchapter, whether the occupancy is for a tenancy at will or by written lease. (B) To continue the license on any rental unit, it shall be the responsibility of the license holder to cause the unit occupants to conduct themselves in a manner as to not cause the premises to be disorderly. (C) Upon determination that the licensed premises were used in a disorderly manner, the City Clerk-Treasurer shall notify the license holder by mail of the violation and direct the license holder to take all necessary steps to prevent further violations. (D) If a second instance of disorderly use of the premises occurs within 12 months of the previous determination, the license holder shall be notified of the second instance and shall also be required to submit a written response detailing the actions taken by the license holder to eliminate future disorderly use of the premises. This report shall be submitted to the City Clerk-Treasurer, and conveyed to the City Council. (E) If a third instance of disorderly use of the premises occurs within 12 months of the first determination, the rental housing unit license or temporary certificate may be revoked or suspended by the City Council. No suspension or revocations shall be considered by the City Council without first giving the license holder notice of the meeting at which this action shall be considered and the license holder has an opportunity to respond. (F) The suspension or revocation maybe for all units in a given building or complex of buildings. After suspension or revocation, the City Council may reissue the license or temporary certificate if substantial improvements are made to correct problems causing the suspension or revocation and the license holder pays to the city a reinstatement fee of $50. (Prior Code, § 350.12)
New Richland Rental Housing Regulations § 113.12 establishes a progressive enforcement framework governing rental housing licenses. Landlords are prohibited from renting units in violation of the subchapter, and license holders bear responsibility for ensuring occupants do not create disorderly conditions on the premises. Repeated findings of disorderly use—up to three instances within a 12-month window—can trigger escalating consequences, culminating in the City Council suspending or revoking the rental housing license for one or more units. A revoked or suspended license may be reinstated if meaningful corrective improvements are made and a $50 reinstatement fee is paid to the city.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 113.12, compliant operators in New Richland generally maintain active oversight of tenant conduct to prevent conditions the city could classify as disorderly. When the City Clerk-Treasurer issues a written notice of a first violation, license holders are expected to take documented corrective steps promptly, since a second instance within 12 months requires a formal written response to the City Clerk-Treasurer and City Council. A third instance within that same 12-month period puts the rental housing license itself at risk of suspension or revocation by the City Council, so operators typically keep records of all remedial actions taken after each notice.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section § 113.12 places the primary compliance burden on the license holder rather than directly on tenants, but the provision's enforcement mechanism—license suspension or revocation—can affect a tenant's ability to remain in a unit. Tenants who believe a landlord is renting a unit in violation of this subchapter, or who are concerned about how disorderly-use determinations are being handled, may contact the New Richland City Clerk-Treasurer's office to understand the status of a property's license. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what procedural protections apply before any City Council action is taken under this provision.
