White Bear Township, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 6, art. VII § 6-243
Application form, content, and filing
Operative Text
(a) License application or renewal shall be made by the owner of the rental units or the legally constituted agent. Application forms may be acquired from and subsequently filed with the code enforcement officer. The application shall include: (1) Name, address, and telephone number of dwelling owner, owning partners if a partnership, corporate officers if a corporation. (2) Name, address, and telephone number of designated resident agent, if any. (3) Name, address and telephone number of vendee, if the dwelling is being sold through a contract for deed. (4) Legal address of the dwelling. (5) Number of dwelling units within the dwelling. (6) Description of procedure through which tenant inquiries and complaints are to be processed. (b) No rental license shall be issued or renewed unless the owner of rental units agrees in the application to permit inspections as authorized in this article.
White Bear Township Code of Ordinances ch. 6, art. VII § 6-243 establishes what information must be included when a rental property owner—or their legally authorized agent—applies for or renews a rental license. The application, filed with the code enforcement officer, must identify the owner, any resident agent, any contract-for-deed vendee, the property address, the number of units, and the process for handling tenant complaints. Critically, no license will be issued or renewed unless the owner agrees to allow inspections authorized under the article.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under White Bear Township Code of Ordinances ch. 6, art. VII § 6-243, compliant rental property operators ensure that every license application or renewal is submitted by the owner or a legally constituted agent using the form available from the code enforcement officer. Operators keep ownership information current—including details for any partnership, corporate officers, or contract-for-deed vendee—and document a clear procedure for processing tenant inquiries and complaints. Because the provision conditions licensure on consent to inspections, operators who withhold that consent will not receive or retain a valid rental license.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
White Bear Township Code of Ordinances ch. 6, art. VII § 6-243 requires that landlords maintain an active rental license and, as part of that process, describe on record how tenant inquiries and complaints will be handled. Tenants can ask the code enforcement officer whether a property holds a current license, which may reveal whether the owner has met these baseline accountability requirements. If a landlord appears to be operating without a valid license or has not disclosed a complaint-handling procedure, tenants may raise that concern with the code enforcement office or consult a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
