St. Cloud Code of Ordinances § 442 § 442:14
Severability
Operative Text
If any section or provision of this ordinance is held invalid, such invalidity will not affect other sections or provisions that can be given force and effect without the invalidated section or provision.
Section 442:14 of the St. Cloud Code of Ordinances establishes a severability rule for the ordinance as a whole. This means that if any single section or provision is found to be legally invalid—for example, by a court ruling—the rest of the ordinance remains in full force. The invalidation of one part does not bring down the entire regulatory framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 442:14 of the St. Cloud Code of Ordinances, the ordinance's requirements do not stand or fall as a single unit. Compliant operators can generally rely on the fact that even if a specific provision is successfully challenged, the remaining sections of the ordinance continue to apply and must still be followed. Staying current with any legal developments affecting individual provisions helps ensure ongoing compliance with the parts that remain valid.

Section 442:14 of the St. Cloud Code of Ordinances provides an important structural protection for tenants: if one part of the ordinance is struck down or invalidated, the protections offered by the remaining sections are not automatically eliminated. Tenants who believe their rights under a surviving provision have been violated may still raise those provisions as a basis for a complaint or defense. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with St. Cloud housing law can help clarify which provisions remain in effect and what options may be available.
