Brooklyn Park Ch. 117 Rental Dwellings § 117.481 requires that anyone holding a rental dwelling license notify the City Manager whenever ownership of that property changes hands. This includes shifts in majority shareholders or corporate officers when the owner is a corporation. The notification must be submitted no later than 30 days before the ownership transfer is finalized.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 117.481, compliant rental dwelling licensees track any upcoming changes in ownership—including corporate restructuring that affects majority shareholders or officers—and submit written notice to the City Manager well ahead of the required 30-day pre-closing deadline. Operators managing properties held through corporate entities pay particular attention to internal ownership shifts that might not look like a traditional sale but still trigger the reporting requirement. Keeping a checklist tied to any transaction timeline helps ensure the notice reaches the City Manager before the deadline.

Section § 117.481 establishes that your landlord, as a licensee, is obligated to report ownership changes to the City Manager at least 30 days before a sale or transfer closes. If you suspect an ownership change occurred without proper notice to the city, you may contact Brooklyn Park's city offices to inquire about the property's license status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Brooklyn Park rental regulations can help you understand what options may be available if this reporting obligation was not followed.
