Apartment licenses run from July 1 through June 30 of the following year, while general housing unit licenses and small apartment licenses run from October 1 through September 30.

Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 117.44, compliant rental property operators in Brooklyn Park track which license cycle applies to each of their properties and ensure renewals are submitted before the applicable period ends. Operators managing standard apartments prepare for a July 1 start date, while those holding general housing unit or small apartment licenses prepare for an October 1 start date. Keeping a calendar reminder tied to the correct cycle helps avoid operating under an expired license.

Section 117.44 of Brooklyn Park's Rental Dwellings code establishes that landlords must hold a currently valid license for the applicable period — either the July–June cycle for apartments or the October–September cycle for general housing units and small apartments. Tenants who believe their landlord may be operating without a current license can contact the City of Brooklyn Park to inquire about a property's license status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Brooklyn Park municipal code can help explain what options may be available if a landlord is found to be out of compliance.
