Revocation or Suspension
Operative Text
(a) Every license or permit issued under this article subject to the right, which is hereby expressly reserved, to suspend or revoke the same should the license holder or their agents, employees, representatives or lessees directly or indirectly operate or maintain rental dwellings contrary to the provisions of this article or any other ordinance of the city or any special permit issued by the city or the laws of the state. (b) The license may be suspended or revoked by the council after a written notice is sent to the license holder specifying the ordinance or law violations with which they are charged. This notice shall also specify the date for hearing before the council, which shall not be less than ten days from the date of the notice. (c) At such hearing before the council, the license holder or his attorney may submit and present witnesses in his defense. (d) After a hearing, the council may suspend or revoke the license if it deems it necessary to protect the public health, safety or general welfare.
Rogers Code of Ordinances ch. 105, art. IV § 105-216 establishes a process by which the city council may suspend or revoke a rental dwelling license when the license holder, or those acting on their behalf, operate or maintain rental property in violation of city ordinances, special permits, or state law. Before any suspension or revocation takes effect, the license holder must receive written notice identifying the specific violations charged and the date of a hearing, which must be scheduled at least ten days out. At the hearing, the license holder has the opportunity to present a defense, and the council may ultimately act if it determines that doing so is necessary to protect public health, safety, or general welfare.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators holding rental dwelling licenses under ch. 105, art. IV § 105-216 generally maintain compliance with all applicable city ordinances, special permits, and state laws to avoid triggering the suspension or revocation process. Compliant operators typically keep records of inspections, repairs, and communications that demonstrate adherence to local requirements, so that if a notice of violation is ever issued, they have documentation ready for a council hearing. Upon receiving a written notice of charges, license holders have the right to appear before the city council with legal representation and to call witnesses in their defense before any action is taken against their license.

Under Rogers Code of Ordinances ch. 105, art. IV § 105-216, tenants living in rental dwellings may have an interest in whether their landlord's license is in good standing, since the city council holds authority to suspend or revoke a license when violations of city ordinances or state law are found. If a tenant believes their rental unit is being operated in violation of local or state requirements, they may consider contacting the City of Rogers to report concerns, which could prompt the city to evaluate whether a license review is warranted. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help tenants understand how this provision interacts with their housing situation and what options may be available to them.
