Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 117.48, compliant rental property operators in Brooklyn Park ensure that each property's rental license is posted in the location the code specifies — prominently near the front entrance, corridor, hallway, or lobby for apartment buildings, and inside the unit for general housing units. Operators typically check posting locations whenever a new or renewed license is issued to confirm continued compliance. Failure to display the license as required can trigger penalties under § 10.99 of the Brooklyn Park city code.

Section § 117.48 gives tenants a basis to expect a valid rental license to be visibly posted in their building or dwelling. If a license is absent or not displayed as required, tenants can contact the City of Brooklyn Park to inquire about the property's licensing status or report a potential violation. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Brooklyn Park municipal code can help residents understand what options may be available when a landlord appears to be out of compliance.
