Aurora, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 154 (2026) § 154.04
EXEMPTIONS
Operative Text
This chapter does not apply to campus dormitory and campus residence units owned, operated, or managed by a governmental entity or agency, hospital units or rooms, nursing homes, retirement homes or other similar rental space which is otherwise registered by the State of Minnesota or the City of Aurora. (Ord. 97, passed 5-2-2023)
Aurora Chapter 154, which governs long-term rentals, carves out certain categories of housing from its requirements entirely. Under § 154.04, campus dormitories and residence units run by government entities, as well as hospital rooms, nursing homes, retirement homes, and similar facilities already registered with the State of Minnesota or the City of Aurora, fall outside the chapter's scope. The exemption reflects that these housing types are regulated through separate frameworks and do not need the additional layer of Chapter 154 oversight.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of conventional rental properties in Aurora should be aware that § 154.04 draws a clear boundary around which housing types Chapter 154 covers. If you manage a government-affiliated campus dormitory, a hospital unit, a nursing home, a retirement home, or a comparable facility that is already registered with the State of Minnesota or the City of Aurora, your property is not subject to this chapter's requirements. Operators of standard long-term rental units that do not fall into these exempt categories should proceed as though Chapter 154 applies fully to their operations.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants living in conventional long-term rental housing in Aurora generally have the protections of Chapter 154 available to them, but § 154.04 makes clear that residents of government-run campus dormitories, hospital units, nursing homes, retirement homes, or similarly state- or city-registered facilities are not covered by this chapter. If you are unsure whether your housing type qualifies for an exemption, a local tenant-rights organization or the City of Aurora can help clarify which regulatory framework applies to your situation. Understanding whether Chapter 154 covers your unit is an important first step in knowing what rights and remedies may be available to you.
