For Property Managers

Under Wayzata Code of Ordinances ch. 815 § 815.19, operators of licensed rental dwellings are expected to actively work to prevent the broad range of conduct listed in the provision — from gambling and controlled-substance violations to weapons offenses and crimes against public peace — from occurring on their properties. Compliant operators typically maintain clear lease terms that prohibit such conduct, respond promptly when incidents are reported, and document the steps taken to address problems involving tenants or their guests. Because the ordinance places responsibility squarely on the license holder, maintaining records of corrective actions taken is a common practice among operators seeking to demonstrate compliance.
