Wayzata, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 815 § 815.13
Maintenance Standards
Operative Text
Every rental dwelling shall conform to the standards of the Wayzata Property Maintenance Code, in addition to any other building or zoning requirements of the City Code, special permits issued by the City, or the laws of the State of Minnesota.
Section 815.13 of the Wayzata Code of Ordinances establishes that all rental dwellings must meet the standards set out in the Wayzata Property Maintenance Code, as well as any other applicable city building or zoning rules, special permits, and Minnesota state law. The provision layers multiple regulatory frameworks together, meaning a rental unit must satisfy all of them simultaneously rather than just one. No single code or permit supersedes the others; compliance with each is independently required.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Wayzata Code ch. 815 § 815.13, operators of rental dwellings are generally expected to maintain their properties in conformance with the Wayzata Property Maintenance Code at all times, while also tracking any special permits issued by the City and remaining current with applicable Minnesota state law. A compliant operator typically conducts regular inspections to identify and address maintenance deficiencies before they become code violations. Keeping records of repairs, permit conditions, and any city correspondence helps demonstrate ongoing compliance across all the overlapping regulatory requirements this section imposes.

Section 815.13 of Wayzata Code ch. 815 establishes that tenants in rental dwellings have the right to live in a unit that meets the Wayzata Property Maintenance Code, city zoning and building requirements, any applicable special permits, and Minnesota state law. If a tenant believes their unit falls short of these standards, general enforcement paths can include reporting concerns to the City of Wayzata's code enforcement or inspections department. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Minnesota housing law can help explain what these overlapping standards mean in practice and what options may be available.
