Osseo, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 46 (2026) § 151.28
LICENSE TRANSFER
Operative Text
No licensee has the right to transfer a license to any other person or property. (Ord. 2009-3, passed 8-24-2009) Penalty, see § 151.99
Osseo Ch. 46 Rental Dwellings § 151.28 establishes that rental dwelling licenses are non-transferable — they cannot be passed from one person to another, nor can they be applied to a different property. A license is tied specifically to the individual who holds it and the property for which it was issued. Any change in ownership or property would require a new licensing process rather than a transfer of the existing license.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 151.28, compliant rental property operators in Osseo understand that their rental dwelling license belongs solely to them and to the specific property it covers. When a property is sold or ownership otherwise changes hands, operators generally initiate a fresh license application for the new owner rather than attempting to assign or transfer the existing license. Violations of this provision carry penalties as referenced in § 151.99 of the Osseo code.

Section § 151.28 of Osseo's Rental Dwellings code means that if a rental property changes ownership, the new owner cannot simply operate under the previous owner's license — a new license is required. Tenants who believe a landlord may be operating under an improperly transferred or invalid license can look into filing a complaint with the relevant local municipal authority responsible for rental licensing enforcement. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Osseo's licensing rules under Ch. 46 can help explain what options may be available in such situations.
