Cambridge, Minn., City Code ch. 99 (2026) § 99.15
OWNER’S RIGHT TO APPEAL
Operative Text
§99.15 OWNER’S RIGHT TO APPEAL Any person aggrieved by a decision or action of the City Administrator shall be entitled to appeal to the City Council by filing a notice of with the City Administrator. The appeal must be filed within ten (10) days of the City Administrator’s decision. The City Administrator will schedule a date for a hearing before the City Council and notify the aggrieved person of the date. The hearing must be conducted in the same manner as if the aggrieved person had not received summary action. The decision of the City Administrator is not voided by the filing of such appeal. Only after the Council has held its hearing will the decision or action of the City Administrator be affected.
Section 99.15 of the Cambridge, MN Rental Housing Registration Code establishes a formal appeal process for property owners or other parties who disagree with a decision or action made by the City Administrator. A written notice of appeal must be submitted to the City Administrator within ten days of the disputed decision, after which the City Council schedules and conducts a hearing. Importantly, the City Administrator's original decision remains in effect throughout this process and is only subject to change after the City Council completes its hearing.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 99.15, property owners who receive an adverse decision from the City Administrator have a defined window—ten days—in which to file a notice of appeal with that same office. Compliant operators generally keep careful records of the date any City Administrator decision is issued so the appeal deadline can be tracked accurately. Because the original decision stays in force during the appeal period, operators typically continue working toward compliance with any requirements while the appeal is pending before the City Council.

Section 99.15 primarily governs the rights of property owners to challenge City Administrator decisions under Cambridge's Rental Housing Registration ordinance, but tenants may find it useful to understand how this process works. When a landlord appeals a City Administrator ruling, that ruling remains active and enforceable until the City Council completes its hearing—meaning any corrective actions or requirements tied to the decision are not automatically suspended. Tenants who have questions about how an ongoing appeal may affect their housing situation can reach out to a local tenant-rights organization or the City of Cambridge for general information about the status of a particular case.
