Barnesville, Minn., Mun. Code doc-3891 (2026) § 150.054
MAINTENANCE STANDARDS
Operative Text
Every rental unit shall be maintained in accordance with the building standards of the city and of the state, and in a manner so as not to create a nuisance pursuant to the city code. (Prior Code, § 3-0501, Subd. 10) Penalty, see § 150.999
Barnesville Rental Unit Registration and Regulations § 150.054 establishes that every rental unit must be kept in compliance with both city and state building standards and must not constitute a nuisance under the city code. The rule applies continuously for the duration of any rental arrangement, not just at the time a lease begins. Violations of this maintenance standard are subject to penalties referenced in § 150.999.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 150.054, compliant property operators routinely inspect their rental units to ensure conditions meet applicable city and state building codes and do not rise to the level of a nuisance as defined by the city code. Operators generally document maintenance activities, address repair requests promptly, and stay current with any updates to local or state building standards. Failure to maintain these standards can trigger the penalty provisions outlined in § 150.999.

Section § 150.054 gives tenants a basis to expect that their rental unit will be kept in conformance with city and state building standards and free from nuisance conditions throughout their tenancy. If a unit falls below these standards, tenants may have grounds to raise a violation of this provision, report conditions to the appropriate city code enforcement office, or seek guidance from a local tenant-rights organization. The penalty framework in § 150.999 may apply to landlords found in violation of these maintenance requirements.
