Brainerd, Minn., City Code § 425 (2026) § 425.4005
Keeping of Register
Operative Text
425.4005 Keeping of Register. Every person registered as a rooming house operator shall at all times keep a register within the rooming house, in which shall be written the names of all occupants renting or occupying rooming units in such rooming house. After the name or names of persons renting or occupying any rooming unit the operator, or operator's agent, shall write the number of the room or rooms which each person is to occupy, together with the date and hour when such room or rooms are rented, all of which shall be done before such person is permitted to occupy such room or rooms. The register shall be available for inspection by the Chief of Police, County Health Authority, Housing Inspector, or Fire Chief, or their authorized representatives.
Brainerd City Code § 425.4005 requires every licensed rooming house operator to maintain an on-site register listing each occupant's name, the room number assigned to them, and the date and time the room was rented. This information must be recorded before the occupant is allowed to move into the room. The register must be made available for inspection by designated city and county officials, including the Chief of Police, County Health Authority, Housing Inspector, and Fire Chief.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 425.4005, compliant rooming house operators keep a physical register on the premises at all times and enter each new occupant's name, assigned room number, and the exact date and hour of rental before that person takes possession of the room. Operators and their agents should treat this as a pre-occupancy step in their standard check-in process, ensuring no entry is left incomplete. The register must be readily accessible for review by the Chief of Police, County Health Authority, Housing Inspector, Fire Chief, or their authorized representatives upon request.

Section § 425.4005 establishes that rooming house operators are required to log your name, room number, and move-in date and time in an on-site register before you occupy your room. If an operator fails to maintain this register or record your information properly, that may constitute a violation of the Brainerd Rental Housing Code. Tenants who believe this requirement is not being followed can contact the Brainerd Housing Inspector or County Health Authority, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance on available options.
