(a) The city shall offer rental property training sessions at least once per year. All tenants, license holders, their agents and managers will be invited to attend.

Albert Lea Code of Ordinances ch. 26, art. II § 26.035 establishes a mandatory training framework for rental property operators. The city must hold at least one rental property training session per year, open to tenants, license holders, and their representatives. When a license holder, agent, or manager receives a first notice of violation under chapter 28 or related codes or statutes, attendance at a training session becomes required — and skipping that required session can be grounds for the city council to deny or decline to renew a rental housing license.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Albert Lea Code of Ordinances ch. 26, art. II § 26.035, compliant rental operators keep track of city-offered training sessions held at least annually and ensure that they, their agents, or their managers attend when a first notice of violation is issued for a rental unit. Operators who delegate day-to-day management confirm that whoever receives a violation notice is aware of the attendance requirement. Because non-attendance is explicitly listed as reasonable cause to refuse license issuance or renewal, maintaining documentation of training attendance is a standard practice for license holders in Albert Lea.
