Brainerd, Minn., City Code § 425 (2026) § 425.3019
Notices
Operative Text
425.3019 Notices. Whenever a notice is required to be sent to or served upon the licensee of a rental dwelling under Section 425, notice shall be deemed sufficient if sent by first class mail and/or email to the owner/ designated agent at the address specified in the last license application filed with the City of Brainerd under Section 425.3004. If a notice sent to the address specified in the last license application is returned, and the owner or designated agent cannot be found, then notice shall be sent to the person authorized in the last license application, under subsection 425.3004(c), as responsible for the maintenance and management of the premises and a notice shall also be posted on the dwelling and/or dwelling unit(s). Whenever notice is required to be sent or delivered to tenants of a dwelling unit under this article, notice shall be sufficient if sent by first class mail to the occupants of each licensed dwelling unit(s) at the address specified in the license application or the register that the licensee maintains pursuant to section 425.3018(b). ARTICLE IV. ROOMING HOUSES
Section 425.3019 of the Brainerd Rental Housing Code establishes how official notices are validly delivered to both landlords and tenants under the rental licensing framework. For landlords, a notice sent by first-class mail or email to the address on file from the most recent license application is considered legally sufficient; if that attempt fails and the owner cannot be located, notice may instead go to the designated maintenance or management contact and be posted on the property. For tenants, a notice mailed by first-class mail to each licensed dwelling unit at the address listed in the license application or the landlord's occupancy register satisfies the delivery requirement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 425.3019, compliant rental property operators in Brainerd keep their contact information current in every license application filed under § 425.3004, because that address is the one the City will use for all official communications. Operators who designate a property manager or maintenance contact under § 425.3004(c) ensure that person's information is also accurate and up to date, since that contact becomes the fallback recipient if primary notice attempts are unsuccessful. Keeping the occupant register required by § 425.3018(b) current is equally important, as it serves as the basis for tenant-directed notices.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 425.3019 establishes that the City of Brainerd satisfies its obligation to notify tenants by mailing notices to each licensed dwelling unit at the address recorded in the landlord's license application or the occupancy register maintained under § 425.3018(b). Tenants who believe they did not receive a required notice may want to verify whether their unit's address is correctly reflected in those records. Tenant-rights organizations or the City of Brainerd's licensing office can be consulted to understand what notices are required and how to raise a delivery concern.
