Arden Hills Section 335.05 establishes a process by which the City Council may suspend or revoke a Rental Unit Certificate held by a residential rental property owner. Before any such action is taken, the owner or their agent must receive written notice at least seven days in advance of the Council's consideration. Once a certificate is suspended or revoked, no new tenants may be placed in vacant or vacated units until the certificate is reinstated, and reinstatement requires going through the same process as an initial registration. Grounds for suspension or revocation include regulatory noncompliance, fraud in the application process, public health or safety hazards, and a range of specific criminal activity occurring on the premises.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Arden Hills Section 335.05, compliant rental operators generally maintain their properties in accordance with all applicable city regulations, submit accurate and complete registration materials, and ensure that conditions on their properties do not rise to the level of a public nuisance or safety hazard. Operators are also attentive to activity on the premises that could implicate Minnesota statutes covering controlled substances, disorderly conduct, firearms, assault, and similar offenses, since such violations can serve as independent grounds for certificate suspension or revocation. When written notice of a potential suspension or revocation hearing arrives, property managers typically review the stated grounds carefully and understand that no new occupancies may be permitted in vacant units if the certificate is ultimately suspended or revoked.

Arden Hills Section 335.05 directly affects tenants because a suspended or revoked Rental Unit Certificate means the owner cannot lawfully place new occupants in vacant or vacated units until the certificate is reinstated. Tenants who believe their building is being operated in violation of city regulations, or that conditions on the property pose a health or safety risk, may bring concerns to the City of Arden Hills, which administers the rental registration program. Tenant-rights organizations can also help individuals understand how a certificate suspension or revocation under Section 335.05 may affect their housing situation and what general options may be available to them.
