Under Wayzata Code of Ordinances ch. 815 § 815.06, compliant rental property operators obtain and complete the city's official application forms, pay the required fee per the current city fee schedule, and ensure all required information is accurately provided, including property addresses, ownership details, management contacts, and unit counts. Operators who manage through a property manager confirm that the manager resides or is located within the seven designated metro counties (Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Scott, or Washington). Compliant operators also verify that their designated property manager has completed required training and that tenant leases include the Crime Free/Drug Free and Disorderly Conduct language mandated by this chapter, as these are conditions the Compliance Official reviews before issuing a license.

Wayzata Code of Ordinances ch. 815 § 815.06 requires that rental properties in Wayzata be licensed, which means the property must have passed a review—and potentially an inspection—by the city's Compliance Official before a license is granted. Tenants may find it relevant that this provision requires landlords to include Crime Free/Drug Free and Disorderly Conduct language in leases and to ensure their property manager has completed city-required training. Tenants who have concerns about whether their rental property is properly licensed or compliant with this chapter can contact the City of Wayzata's Compliance Official or consult a local tenant-rights organization for general information about available options.
