Wayzata, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 815 § 815.23
Multiple Violations
Operative Text
If two or more units in a licensed premises are in violation of the crime free/drug free and disorderly conduct lease requirements of this Chapter within a 12-month period, fines specified in section 815.21 may be doubled.
Wayzata Code of Ordinances ch. 815 § 815.23 establishes a penalty-escalation mechanism for rental properties where multiple units are found in violation of the crime-free/drug-free and disorderly conduct lease requirements. When two or more units on the same licensed premises accumulate such violations within any rolling 12-month window, the fines that would otherwise apply under § 815.21 may be doubled. This provision applies at the property level, not just the individual unit level, meaning violations across different units are aggregated when assessing potential penalties.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Wayzata Code of Ordinances ch. 815 § 815.23, operators of multi-unit licensed properties generally maintain careful records of any lease violations related to crime-free/drug-free and disorderly conduct requirements across all units. Compliant operators typically track the 12-month rolling period to understand when a second or subsequent unit violation could trigger the doubled-fine provision referenced in § 815.21. Proactive lease enforcement and prompt response to reported violations across all units are practices commonly associated with avoiding the escalated penalty threshold described in this section.

Wayzata Code of Ordinances ch. 815 § 815.23 is relevant to tenants because it creates a financial incentive for landlords to enforce crime-free/drug-free and disorderly conduct lease provisions aggressively across an entire property. Tenants who believe a violation notice or lease action has been applied improperly in connection with this provision may have grounds to raise that concern as part of any administrative or legal proceeding. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Wayzata's rental licensing framework can help residents understand how the doubled-fine structure under § 815.21 may affect their tenancy.
