Operative Text
10.7.4. Registration permit required. No person shall occupy, allow to be occupied, or let to another for occupancy, any rental dwelling unit in the City of Cloquet, without first having obtained a registration permit from the city under the terms of this section. Dwelling units constructed or converted to rental usage after the effective date of this article shall not be occupied for human habitation prior to issuance of a registration permit by the city. An application for registration shall be made upon forms furnished by the city for such purpose and shall require the minimum information required under Section 10.7.5.
Section 10.7.4 of Cloquet's Rental Housing Regulations establishes that every rental dwelling unit in the city must have a valid registration permit before anyone moves in or is allowed to occupy it. This requirement applies both to existing rental units and to any dwelling newly constructed or converted to rental use after the ordinance took effect — the latter cannot be occupied at all until the city issues a permit. Applications must be submitted on city-provided forms and include the minimum information specified in Section 10.7.5.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 10.7.4, compliant rental property operators in Cloquet secure a registration permit from the city before placing any tenant in a unit — including units that are newly built or recently converted to rental use. Operators typically complete the city's official application form and supply all information required by Section 10.7.5 before a tenancy begins. Maintaining current registration for each rental unit is a baseline obligation under this chapter, and newly converted or constructed units must receive their permit before any occupant moves in.

Section 10.7.4 gives tenants in Cloquet a basis to verify that their rental unit is properly registered with the city before or during their occupancy. If a unit lacks the required registration permit, that may constitute a violation of the city's Rental Housing Regulations, which tenants can raise with the City of Cloquet or reference when consulting a local tenant-rights organization. Tenants who have questions about whether their unit is registered may contact the city directly to inquire about permit status under this section.
