Saint James, Minn., Mun. Code doc-2021 (2026) § 92.06
EXCEPTION
Operative Text
This subchapter shall not apply to any hotel, motel room, or related facility licensed by the state. (Prior Code, § 6.32)
Saint James Rental Housing § 92.06 carves out an exception to the rental housing subchapter, making its requirements inapplicable to hotels, motels, and related facilities that hold a state license. In other words, state-licensed lodging establishments of this type fall entirely outside the scope of the subchapter's rules. The exception is categorical: if the facility meets both criteria—being a hotel, motel, or related facility and being state-licensed—the subchapter does not govern it.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of hotels, motels, or related facilities that are state-licensed should be aware that, under § 92.06, the rental housing subchapter does not apply to their properties. Compliant operators in this category typically maintain their state license and document their facility type to support the exemption if it is ever questioned. Operators whose properties do not clearly fit the hotel or motel category, or who lack a current state license, generally cannot rely on this exception.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
If you are renting in a facility that a landlord claims is exempt under § 92.06—such as a hotel, motel, or related state-licensed establishment—it is worth understanding that the protections of the Saint James rental housing subchapter may not apply to your arrangement. Tenants in these settings may have different rights under other state or local laws not covered by this subchapter. Consulting a local tenant-rights organization can help clarify which legal frameworks, if any, govern your housing situation.
