For Property Managers

Under Sandstone Ch. 155 Rental Dwellings § 118.10, compliant operators generally ensure that all license applications and renewals contain accurate, complete information and that required fees are paid on time. They also maintain their properties in conformance with state and local building and fire codes, and they cooperate with city inspectors when inspections are requested. Operators who receive written notice of a denial, suspension, or revocation are entitled to appeal to the Rental Appeals Board, and reinstatement or re-licensing is available once the conditions that triggered the action have been fully remedied and any reinstatement or new license fees have been submitted.

For Tenants

Sandstone Ch. 155 Rental Dwellings § 118.10 is relevant to tenants because criminal conduct on the rental premises—whether by the owner or a tenant—can serve as a basis for license suspension or revocation, which may affect the property's legal status as a rental. Tenants who believe their landlord is operating without a valid license, or that conditions at the property violate building or fire codes, may have grounds to raise those issues with the City Administrator/Clerk-Treasurer or the Rental Appeals Board. Consulting a local tenant-rights organization can help tenants understand how license status may intersect with their housing rights under this provision.
