Perham Rental Registration and Inspection § 151.066 establishes that no rental unit within the city may be occupied or rented out unless the city has issued a valid registration for that unit. To obtain registration, property owners must submit an application on city-provided forms that includes ownership contact details, the property's street address, the number and types of units, maximum occupancy for each unit, and the contact information for whoever is authorized to arrange repairs. This rule applies to all rental units in the city, regardless of size or type.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Perham Rental Registration and Inspection § 151.066, compliant rental property operators obtain a city-issued registration before allowing any tenant to occupy a unit. Operators keep their registration applications current and accurate, including up-to-date contact information for the owner and any designated repair-authorization contact who differs from the owner or local manager. Failure to register before occupancy occurs exposes operators to penalties referenced in § 151.999.

Perham Rental Registration and Inspection § 151.066 means that any rental unit a tenant moves into should already hold a valid city-issued registration — occupying an unregistered unit is a condition the city's rules prohibit. Tenants who believe their unit may lack proper registration can inquire with the City of Perham to verify registration status or raise the unregistered status as a concern with local housing officials. Tenant-rights organizations can help explain what options may be available when a unit does not comply with § 151.066.
