SUSPENSION OR REVOCATION OF REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE
Operative Text
(A) Any registration certificate issued by the city pursuant to the provisions of this chapter may be suspended or revoked upon a finding that the certificate holder, during the term of the certificate, failed to comply with any provision of this chapter. (B) A person’s right to apply and receive a registration certificate may be suspended or revoked upon finding that the applicant has let to another for occupancy any dwelling, or any apartment or rooming unit in any dwelling, without first obtaining a registration certificate as required by this chapter and, during such time, the premises were involved in a disorderly use as defined in this chapter. (C) Whenever it appears to the Council that adequate grounds may exist for the suspension or revocation of a registration certificate or the right to receive a registration certificate, the Council shall by resolution specify the nature of the alleged grounds and order that a hearing on the matter be held as provided in this chapter. (D) No such suspension or revocation shall be effective until the license or permit holder has been afforded an opportunity for a hearing under the Minnesota Administrative Procedure Act, §§ 14.57 to 14.70. (E) Upon a finding that the registration certificate holder or applicant has violated this chapter, the Council may invoke any of the sanctions provided in this chapter. (Ord. 114, passed 6-25-08)
Byron Ch. 114 Crime Free Rental Housing § 114.10 establishes the conditions under which the city may suspend or revoke a rental registration certificate—or a person's right to obtain one. Grounds include failing to comply with chapter requirements or renting a dwelling without a certificate while the property was involved in a disorderly use. Before any suspension or revocation takes effect, the certificate holder is entitled to a hearing conducted under the Minnesota Administrative Procedure Act, §§ 14.57 to 14.70.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Byron Ch. 114 § 114.10, operators who hold a registration certificate are expected to remain in continuous compliance with all chapter requirements throughout the certificate term. Compliant operators avoid renting units without first securing the required registration, particularly given that doing so during a period of disorderly use can trigger loss of the right to hold a certificate in the future. When the Council initiates a suspension or revocation proceeding by resolution, the certificate holder has the right to a formal hearing before any sanction becomes effective.
