Plain English

Under Roseville Code of Ordinances ch. 1201 § 1201.21, the city council holds authority to suspend or revoke a landlord's rental registration for a range of reasons, including repeated code violations, false information on a registration application, failure to maintain the property, or certain unlawful activities occurring on the premises. A first suspension must last at least 180 days, a second at least 365 days, and revocation becomes an option after two prior suspensions under the same registrant. Reinstatement after suspension requires demonstrating that the underlying problems have been corrected and obtaining city council approval; reinstatement after revocation is only considered if there has been a genuine change in ownership—transfers to family members or affiliated entities do not qualify.

For Property Managers

Property owners and managers operating under Roseville Code of Ordinances ch. 1201 § 1201.21 generally keep their rental registrations in good standing by maintaining accurate registration applications, promptly addressing code deficiencies in their properties, and taking reasonable steps to prevent unlawful activity—including gambling, controlled-substance offenses, and disorderly conduct—by tenants, guests, or agents on the premises. Operators who accumulate three or more confirmed violations within a 180-day window, or who have two prior suspensions on record, face escalating consequences up to and including full revocation. Because reinstatement after revocation requires a genuine ownership change, maintaining ongoing compliance is far more straightforward than attempting to recover a revoked registration.

For Tenants

Tenants should be aware that under Roseville Code of Ordinances ch. 1201 § 1201.21, a rental registration suspension or revocation can be triggered not only by a landlord's conduct but also by violations committed by tenants, their guests, or their agents—such as certain drug, gambling, assault, or disorderly-conduct offenses on the property. If a tenant believes their landlord's registration has been improperly suspended or revoked, or that they are being displaced as a result of enforcement action, they may contact the City of Roseville directly for information about the status of a registration. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand how a suspension or revocation may affect their housing situation and what options may be available to them.
