North Oaks, Minn., City Ordinances ch. 114 (2026) § 114.150
Severability
Operative Text
§ 114.150. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Ordinance is found to be invalid for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity of the remaining provisions will remain with full force and effect.
Section 114.150 of North Oaks, MN City Ordinances Ch. 114 is a standard severability clause, meaning that if any single part of the rental property ordinance is struck down or declared invalid by a court, the rest of the ordinance continues to operate as if the invalidated portion never existed. This type of provision is common in legislation and is designed to preserve the overall regulatory framework even when one component is successfully challenged. It does not create new rights or obligations on its own, but it shapes how the ordinance as a whole survives legal challenges.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 114.150, property owners and managers should understand that the rental regulations in Ch. 114 are designed to remain largely intact even if a court invalidates one specific provision. Compliant operators generally continue following all other requirements of the ordinance regardless of any legal challenge directed at a particular section. This means that a successful court challenge to one rule does not relieve landlords of their obligations under the remaining provisions of Ch. 114.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 114.150 means that tenants retain the protections offered by the rest of Ch. 114 even if one part of the ordinance is found legally invalid. If a landlord argues that a court ruling against one provision undermines the entire ordinance, this severability clause directly addresses that argument by keeping the remaining rules in full force. Tenants who believe their rights under Ch. 114 are being violated may consider contacting a local tenant-rights organization or the City of North Oaks for guidance on which protections remain applicable.
