Cambridge, Minn., City Code ch. 99 (2026) § 99.17
Maintenance of Records
Operative Text
§99.17 MAINTENANCE OF RECORDS All records, files, and documents pertaining to the Rental Housing Registration Program and Requests for Rental Housing Inspections shall be maintained in the office of the City and made available to the public as allowed or required by applicable laws, rules, codes, statutes, or ordinances.
Section 99.17 of the Cambridge, MN City Code requires the city itself to keep all records, files, and documents related to the Rental Housing Registration Program and inspection requests at the city office. These materials must be made available to the public in accordance with whatever applicable laws and statutes govern public records access. The provision establishes a transparency obligation on the city's part, not on landlords or tenants directly.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 99.17, the city—not individual property owners—bears the responsibility for maintaining rental housing registration and inspection records. Compliant operators generally keep their own copies of submitted registration materials and inspection requests, since the city's office is the official repository and those records may be referenced in future proceedings. Being aware that these records are potentially public can inform how landlords document and communicate about their properties.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 99.17 means that records tied to the Rental Housing Registration Program and any inspection requests are held at the Cambridge city office and may be accessible to the public under applicable open-records laws. Tenants who want to review registration status or inspection history for a property can inquire at the city office about what records are available for public inspection. Local tenant-rights organizations can help identify which specific records may be requested and how to submit a public-records request if needed.
General guidance for tenants — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult a tenant-rights organization or attorney for advice on your case.
