Plain English

Wayzata Code of Ordinances ch. 815 § 815.05 establishes that any rental dwelling licensed under Chapter 815 may only be occupied under a written lease agreement lasting at least 30 days, signed by both the owner (or their designee) and the tenant. Informal or verbal rental arrangements do not satisfy this requirement. The rule applies to all covered rental dwellings regardless of the type of tenancy.

For Property Managers

Under Wayzata Code of Ordinances ch. 815 § 815.05, compliant rental property operators ensure that every occupancy is backed by a written lease of at least 30 days' duration before a tenant moves in. The lease must bear the signatures of both the tenant and the owner or an authorized designee — unsigned or verbal agreements are not sufficient. Operators generally maintain copies of all executed leases as part of their licensing compliance records.

For Tenants

Wayzata Code of Ordinances ch. 815 § 815.05 gives tenants in licensed rental dwellings the right to a written, signed lease with a term of at least 30 days before occupying the unit. If a landlord attempts to rent a unit without providing such a written agreement, that may constitute a violation of this provision. Tenants who believe this requirement has not been met can document the situation, contact the City of Wayzata, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
