Brainerd, Minn., City Code § 425 (2026) § 425.6003
Responsibility for Security
Operative Text
425.6003 Responsibility for Security. The owner/designated agent in charge of buildings covered by this Article shall be responsible for compliance with the terms and provisions of this Article.
Section 425.6003 of the Brainerd, MN City Code establishes that the owner of a rental building, or the designated agent they have placed in charge, bears responsibility for ensuring the building meets the security requirements set out in Article VI of the Rental Housing Code. The rule places compliance obligations squarely on the ownership or management side, not on tenants or other occupants. This means that when a security-related requirement under this Article is not met, the owner or their designated agent is the party accountable under the code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 425.6003, property owners and their designated agents are the parties held responsible for meeting every security-related requirement in Article VI of the Brainerd Rental Housing Code. Compliant operators typically ensure that any agent formally designated to manage a property is clearly identified and has the authority and resources to maintain code compliance. Owners who delegate day-to-day management should document that delegation carefully, since the code places the compliance burden on whoever is designated as the agent in charge.

Section 425.6003 makes clear that tenants are not the responsible party for security compliance under Article VI of the Brainerd Rental Housing Code — that duty rests with the owner or their designated agent. If a tenant believes a security requirement under this Article is not being met, general enforcement paths can include contacting the City of Brainerd's code enforcement office to report a potential violation. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Minnesota housing law can also help residents understand what options may be available when an owner or agent is not fulfilling their obligations under this provision.
