All rental Property Owners must produce a copy of the rental license upon demand of a prospective occupant or City official.
Under Andover, MN City Code § 9-8B-11, rental properties with four or more units are required to display their rental license in a visible location, such as a public hallway or front entrance. Additionally, all rental property owners — regardless of the size of their property — must be able to provide a copy of the rental license whenever a prospective tenant or city official requests one. This rule is designed to ensure that license status is accessible and verifiable by both the public and local authorities.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 9-8B-11 of the Andover Rental Licensing ordinance, operators of rental properties with four or more units generally keep the current rental license posted in a conspicuous spot in a shared corridor or at the front entrance. All rental property owners, including those with smaller properties, typically maintain a readily accessible copy of the license so it can be produced immediately upon request from a prospective occupant or a City official. Keeping both the posted original and backup copies current and easy to locate is a standard practice for staying in compliance with this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 9-8B-11 of the Andover City Code gives prospective occupants the explicit right to request and receive a copy of a property's rental license from the owner before committing to a tenancy. If you are considering renting in a building with four or more units, the license should already be visibly posted in a common area or at the front entrance. If a property owner is unable or unwilling to produce a license upon request, that may be worth raising with the City of Andover, and tenant-rights organizations can help explain what options are generally available in such situations.
