Licenses will be issued for a period of one year. All licenses will be reviewed and renewed each year by the property owner or other authorized representative. (1)
New licenses. MRDs that have legally not been required to have a rental license due to new construction must submit a rental license application to the city within 30 calendar days from the issuance of a conditional or permanent certificate of occupancy. The applicant shall be responsible for compliance to all sections listed herein under this division.
(2) Operating without valid license.

(3) License renewals. All licensed rental properties shall be required to submit a renewal application.
(4) Chronic code violations. For properties having chronic code violations that are not being resolved in a timely manner, the city council may pursue any and all remedies under Minn. Stat. §§ 504B.395 through 504B.471 in addition to any other legal or equitable relief.
(5) Property code and nuisance violations. Standards for property maintenance will be based on compliance with city and other applicable codes or other nationally recognized standards, as adopted by the city council.
(6) License process and renewal.
a. All owners or owner's representatives of MRDs in the city must submit a full application to the fire department.
b. The fire department will notify the applicant of the inspection date, approximately 30 calendar days prior to inspection.
c. After the inspection has been completed a notice of licensing approval/denial and inspection report will be sent to the applicant.
d. The licensing fee will be due and payable by the license renewal date.
e. After staff verifies all documentation, fees and all other requirements have been satisfied, a license may be issued for each MRD.
f. A renewal application packet will be sent to the owner of each licensed MRD. License renewal applications shall be submitted to the fire department by the owner/agent between 90 and 120 days prior to the license expiration date.
(7) Issuance of license. The city shall issue a license once the city deems the property to not have any unsafe, unsanitary, or dilapidated conditions as defined in section 906.03 (h) or elsewhere in this Code, or a memorandum of understanding (MOU) has been signed and submitted and all city fees and fines have been paid. Every owner of an MRD shall conspicuously post the current license within 14 calendar days of receipt in the main entryway or other conspicuous location within the MRD. For MRDs that do not have a shared common area or entrance, the owner must provide a copy of the license to each tenant by attaching a copy to the tenant's copy of the executed lease agreement. Notwithstanding section 301.02 , the fire chief is authorized to issue a license under this division upon satisfaction, in the fire chief's sole discretion, of all requirements contained herein.

Plain English

Roseville Code of Ordinances ch. 1201 § 1201.46 establishes a one-year licensing cycle for multi-residential dwellings (MRDs), requiring annual renewal and setting out the full process from initial application through inspection and issuance. Newly constructed properties that were previously exempt from licensing must apply within 30 calendar days of receiving a certificate of occupancy, while existing licensed properties must submit renewal applications between 90 and 120 days before their license expires. Once a license is issued, it must be conspicuously posted in the main entryway within 14 days, or — for properties without shared common areas — a copy must be attached to each tenant's executed lease agreement.

For Property Managers

Under Roseville Code of Ordinances ch. 1201 § 1201.46, compliant operators of MRDs submit their renewal application to the fire department within the 90-to-120-day window before license expiration, ensure all fees and fines are paid, and make the property available for the scheduled inspection. For newly constructed properties, owners submit an initial rental license application within 30 calendar days of receiving a conditional or permanent certificate of occupancy. Once a license is received, operators post it conspicuously in the main entryway within 14 calendar days — or, where no shared common area exists, attach a copy to each tenant's lease agreement.

For Tenants

Roseville Code of Ordinances ch. 1201 § 1201.46 gives tenants a right to see a current, valid rental license: it must either be posted in the main entryway of the MRD or attached to the tenant's own copy of the executed lease agreement. If a property appears to be operating without a valid license, or if the license is not being displayed as required, tenants can contact the Roseville fire department — which administers the licensing process under this section — to inquire about the property's status. Tenants may also consult a local tenant-rights organization to understand what remedies or defenses may be available when a landlord is found to be operating outside the requirements of this division.
