Roseville, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 1201 § 1201.54
No warranty by the city
Operative Text
By enacting the ordinance from which this division is derived and undertaking to enforce this division, neither the city, the city council, its officers, agents, or employees warrant or guarantee the safety, fitness, or suitability of any MRD in the city. Owners or occupants should take whatever steps they deem appropriate to protect their interests, health, safety, and welfare. A warning in substantially the foregoing language shall be printed on the face of the rental license.
Roseville Code of Ordinances ch. 1201 § 1201.54 establishes that the city's decision to enact and enforce its rental housing regulations does not constitute any official guarantee or warranty that a rental dwelling is safe, fit, or suitable for occupancy. The city, its council, officers, agents, and employees are explicitly disclaimed from such responsibility. A notice conveying this limitation must be printed directly on the face of every rental license issued under the division.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Roseville Code of Ordinances ch. 1201 § 1201.54, compliant rental property operators are aware that holding a city-issued rental license does not mean the city has certified or vouched for the condition of their property. Operators generally ensure that the required disclaimer language appears on the face of the rental license as mandated, and they understand that responsibility for the safety, fitness, and suitability of the dwelling rests with the owner rather than the city. Maintaining the property in good condition remains an independent obligation separate from any licensing or enforcement activity by the city.

Tenants should be aware that the disclaimer language required by this provision appears on the face of the rental license itself. Those with concerns about the habitability or safety of a rental unit may wish to consult local housing resources, a tenant-rights organization, or review other provisions within ch. 1201 that address rental housing standards and enforcement.
