Section 358.13 of Princeton, MN City Code establishes that a rental dwelling license cannot be granted unless the property meets all applicable city ordinances and state laws.

Under § 358.13, operators seeking to rent residential property in Princeton must ensure their dwelling complies with all city ordinances and Minnesota state law before a license will be issued. A pre-licensure inspection is a mandatory step in the process, so compliant operators typically address any code deficiencies—such as safety, habitability, or structural issues—before scheduling or undergoing that inspection. Keeping documentation of repairs and maintenance can help demonstrate readiness for the inspection required by this section.

Section 358.13 means that any rental dwelling legally operating under Princeton's licensing program has, at minimum, passed an initial inspection confirming compliance with city and state standards before a license was granted. Tenants who have concerns about whether a landlord holds a valid license, or whether the property met required standards at the time of licensing, may contact the City of Princeton to inquire about licensing records. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand what options may be available if a rental unit is found to be operating without the license required by § 358.13.
