Osseo, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 46 (2026) § 151.32
RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACTS OF MANAGER
Operative Text
Licensees are responsible for the acts or omissions of their managers and operators. (Ord. 2009-3, passed 8-24-2009)
Under Osseo Ch. 46 Rental Dwellings § 151.32, a rental dwelling licensee bears legal responsibility for the conduct of any manager or operator they employ or designate to oversee the property. This means that if a manager or operator fails to comply with applicable rules or takes an improper action, the licensee—not just the individual manager—can be held accountable. The provision does not limit this responsibility to intentional acts; omissions, or failures to act, are equally covered.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 151.32, property owners who hold a rental dwelling license in Osseo are held accountable for what their managers and operators do—or fail to do—on their behalf. Compliant operators generally maintain clear oversight of anyone they designate to manage a property, establish written policies and procedures, and ensure those individuals are familiar with local rental regulations. Delegating day-to-day management does not transfer the licensee's legal exposure under this provision.

Section 151.32 of Osseo's Rental Dwellings ordinance means that if a property manager or operator violates your rights or neglects required duties, the licensed property owner can be held responsible—not just the individual who acted or failed to act. Tenants who experience problems caused by a manager's conduct or inaction may have grounds to raise the licensee's accountability when pursuing a complaint or other remedy. Tenant-rights organizations and local housing authorities can help identify the appropriate channels for addressing such concerns under this provision.
