Arden Hills, Minn., Mun. Code § 335 (2026) § 335.06
Violation
Operative Text
Except as provided in Section 335.03 , Subd. 1 A-C, any person that maintains a rental unit without having the required Rental Unit Certificate or after the Rental Unit Certificate for the property has been revoked or suspended, or who permits new occupancy in violation of this Chapter is guilty of a misdemeanor.
Arden Hills Section 335.06 establishes that operating a residential rental unit without a valid Rental Unit Certificate—or allowing new tenants to move in while a certificate is revoked or suspended—constitutes a misdemeanor offense under Minnesota law. The rule applies to anyone maintaining such a unit, with limited exceptions outlined in Section 335.03, Subdivision 1 A-C. The provision is designed to ensure that rental housing in Arden Hills meets registration requirements before occupancy occurs.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Arden Hills Section 335.06, compliant rental property operators maintain a current, valid Rental Unit Certificate at all times and do not allow new occupants to move into a unit if that certificate has been revoked or suspended. Operators generally verify their certificate status before executing any new lease or permitting move-in, and they familiarize themselves with the limited exemptions described in Section 335.03, Subdivision 1 A-C to understand whether those apply to their property. Because a violation of this section carries misdemeanor-level criminal exposure, maintaining up-to-date registration records is a standard part of responsible property management in Arden Hills.

Arden Hills Section 335.06 means that a landlord who rents or re-rents a unit without a valid Rental Unit Certificate may be committing a misdemeanor, which can be relevant context if a tenant discovers their unit was not properly registered at the time they moved in. Tenants who believe their landlord is operating without the required certificate can report the concern to the appropriate Arden Hills municipal or code enforcement office, which has authority over rental registration compliance. Consulting a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider can help tenants understand how a Section 335.06 violation might affect their specific rental situation, including whether it can be raised as a defense or basis for other remedies.
