St. Louis Park, Minn., City Code ch. 8 §§ 8-326–8-335 (2026) § 8-328
Rental Owner/Property Manager training
Operative Text
Sec. 8-328. Rental Owner/Property Manager training. The owner or property manager must have attended a residential rental training program offered by the City of St. Louis Park before any rental license is issued. A Temporary License may be issued following payment of the regular license fee for six months to accommodate the training schedule. An owner whose only rental housing is either unoccupied or a dwelling unit homesteaded by a relative is exempted from the training program. Owners or property managers are required to complete a training review every three years. (Ord. No. 2334-07, 08-10-2007; Ord. No. 2361-08, 1-1-2009; Ord. No. 2590-20, 8-17-2020)
Section 8-328 of the St. Louis Park City Code requires that anyone seeking a rental license as an owner or property manager must first complete a residential rental training program provided by the City of St. Louis Park. A six-month Temporary License is available to bridge the gap while a new licensee completes the required training. Owners whose only rental property is either vacant or occupied by a homesteaded relative are exempt from this requirement, and all others must complete a refresher training review every three years.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under St. Louis Park City Code § 8-328, compliant rental operators complete the city's residential rental training program before obtaining their first rental license, and they keep track of the three-year renewal cycle for the required training review. If the training schedule creates a timing gap, operators can apply for a six-month Temporary License by paying the standard license fee. Operators who believe they qualify for the exemption—because their only rental unit is unoccupied or homesteaded by a relative—should confirm that status with the city to ensure their licensing remains in good standing.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 8-328 of the St. Louis Park City Code establishes a baseline competency requirement for landlords and property managers by mandating city-provided training before a rental license is issued. Tenants can check whether their landlord holds a valid rental license—which depends in part on this training requirement—through the city's licensing records. If a tenant has concerns about whether a landlord is properly licensed under § 8-328, they may contact the City of St. Louis Park directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
