Plain English

St. Paul Park Code of Ordinances ch. 18, art. IV § 18-70 establishes a set of ongoing operational conditions that rental property licenses are subject to. These conditions cover matters such as displaying the license on the premises, using the Minnesota Crime-Free Lease Addendum, keeping a current tenant register updated every 30 days, and notifying the city in writing within ten days of any changes to application information or ownership. Licenses are nontransferable, meaning a new property owner must apply and pay fees independently rather than inheriting the prior owner's license.

For Property Managers

Operators of licensed rental properties in St. Paul Park are generally expected to comply with all conditions outlined in ch. 18, art. IV § 18-70 throughout the license period. Compliant operators typically display the license wherever feasible, provide a copy to tenants in two-family dwellings, maintain a tenant register updated at least every 30 days, incorporate the Minnesota Crime-Free Lease Addendum into leases, and submit written notifications to the city within ten days of ownership changes or application information updates. When structural changes to units are planned, obtaining a building permit before proceeding is part of maintaining compliance under this section.

For Tenants

Under St. Paul Park Code of Ordinances ch. 18, art. IV § 18-70, tenants have a right to see the property's rental license — landlords are required to produce it upon request, and tenants in two-family dwellings must be provided a copy. If a landlord appears to be operating without displaying or providing the license, or if the tenant register or other conditions seem to be out of compliance, tenants may consider contacting the city's code official or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options. Awareness of these license conditions can also be relevant if compliance issues arise during a tenancy.
