(a) Applicability. Every license issued under the provisions of this division is subject to suspension, revocation or nonrenewal by the city council.
(b) Unoccupied or vacated rental units. In the event that a license is suspended, revoked, or not renewed by the city council, it shall be unlawful for the owner or the owner's duly authorized agent to thereafter permit any new occupancies of vacant or thereafter vacated rental units until such time as a valid license may be restored by the city council.
(c) Grounds for license action. The city council may revoke, suspend, or decline to renew any license issued under this division upon any of the following grounds:
(1) False statements, misrepresentations, or fraudulent statements on any application or other information or report required by this division to be given by the applicant or licensee.
(2) Failure to pay any application fee, fine, penalty, reinspection fees, reinstatement fee, special assessments, real estate taxes, or other financial claims due to the city as required by this division and city council resolution.
(3) Failure to continuously comply with any property maintenance, zoning, health, building, nuisance, or other this titles; or failure to correct deficiencies noted in an inspection report or other compliance notices within the time specified.
(4) Failure to comply with the provisions of an approved memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the city that addresses noted deficiencies and violations of any property maintenance, zoning, health, building, nuisance, or other provision of this Code.
(5) Failure to comply with the provisions of an approved memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the city that addresses the underlying causes for the nuisance conduct and provides a course of action to alleviate the nuisance conduct.
(6) Failure to actively pursue the termination of the tenancy of tenants who have violated the provision of this division or lease addendum on file with the city or have otherwise created a public nuisance in violation of city, state, or applicable laws.
(7) Failure to eliminate imminent health and life safety hazards as determined by the city or its authorized representatives.
(8) Failure to operate or maintain the licensed premises in conformity with all applicable state and local laws and ordinances.
(d) License action sections. Revocation, suspension, and non-renewal may be brought under either this section or any other section of this chapter.
(e) Notification, hearing and decisions basis.
(1) Written notice, hearing. A decision to revoke, suspend, deny, or not renew a license shall be preceded by written notice to the applicant or licensee of the alleged grounds, and the applicant or licensee will be given an opportunity for a hearing before the city council before final action to revoke, suspend, deny, or not renew a license.
(2) Decision basis. The city council shall give due regard to the frequency and seriousness of violations, the ease with which such violations could have been remedied or avoided, and the good faith efforts to comply. The city council shall issue a decision to deny, not renew, suspend, or revoke a license only upon written findings.
(f) Affected MRD. The city council may suspend, revoke or not renew a license for part or all of an MRD.
(g) License actions, reapplication.
(1) Suspension. Licenses may be suspended for up to 90 calendar days and may after the period of suspension be reinstated subject to compliance with this chapter and any conditions imposed by the city council at the time of suspension.
(2) Revocation, denial, nonrenewal. Licenses that are revoked will not be reinstated until the owner has applied for and secured a new license and complied with all conditions imposed at the time of revocation. Upon a decision to revoke, deny, or not renew a license, no approval of any application for a new license for the same facility will be effective until after the period of time specified in the city council's written decision, which shall not exceed one year. The city council shall specify in its written decision the date when an application for a new license will be accepted for processing. A decision not to renew a license may take the form of a suspension or revocation. A decision to deny an application for a new facility will not take the form of a suspension or revocation unless false statements have been made by the applicant in connection with the application. A decision to deny an application shall state the conditions of reapplication.
(3) Reinstatement fees. All new applications must be accompanied by a reinstatement fee, as specified by city council resolution, in addition to all other fees required by this chapter.
(4) Written decision, compliance. Written decisions to revoke, suspend, deny, or not renew a license or application shall specify the part of the facility to which it applies. The city council may, in its sole discretion, include in its written decision any necessary conditions a licensee must satisfy prior to reinstatement or reissue of a license. Such conditions may include but are not limited to, requiring a licensee to retain at its own expense a city-approved professional property maintenance or management contractor. Thereafter, and until a license is reissued or reinstated, no rental units becoming vacant in such part of the facility may be re-let or occupied. Revocation, suspension, or non-renewal of a license shall not excuse the owner from compliance with all terms of state laws and codes and this Code for as long as any units in the facility are occupied. Failure to comply with all terms of this chapter during the term of revocation, suspension, or non-renewal is a misdemeanor and grounds for extension of the term of such revocation or suspension or continuation of non-renewal, or for a decision not to reinstate the license, notwithstanding any limitations on the period of suspension, revocation, or non-renewal specified in the city council's written decision or in subsection (g)(6) of this section.
(5) New license prohibited. A property owner who has a rental license revoked may not receive a new rental license for another property within the city for a period of one year from the date of revocation. The property owner may continue to operate currently licensed MDRs if the properties are maintained in compliance with this title and other applicable regulations.
(6) Council action. The city council may postpone or discontinue an action to deny, not renew, revoke, suspend a license, or fine a licensee or applicant, if the licensee or applicant has taken appropriate measures to correct the violation.

For Property Managers

Under § 1201.49, compliant rental operators generally keep all fees, taxes, and inspection-related charges current with the city, promptly correct deficiencies identified in inspection reports, and maintain properties in continuous conformity with applicable property maintenance, zoning, health, and building codes. Operators also ensure that any memoranda of understanding with the city are actively followed and that lease addenda on file with the city are enforced. When a suspension of up to 90 days occurs, no new tenants may be placed in vacant units until the license is validly restored, and reinstatement requires payment of a reinstatement fee along with satisfaction of any conditions the city council imposes.

For Tenants

Section 1201.49 of the Roseville Code of Ordinances means that a landlord whose rental license is suspended, revoked, or not renewed cannot lawfully rent out vacant units during that period. Tenants who believe their building is being operated without a valid license, or that license-related violations are affecting their housing conditions, may contact the city to inquire about the property's license status. Consulting a tenant-rights organization can help tenants understand what options may be available, including raising licensing violations in relevant proceedings.
