Coon Rapids, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 12-900 § 12-911
Display of License Certificate
Operative Text
For dwellings containing four or more dwelling units, the rental license certificate must be displayed in the lobby or other common area visibly accessible to all tenants of the licensed dwelling. The license certificate must be encased in a frame with a clear glass or plastic surface over the certificate and must be mounted securely to a wall. For dwellings containing less than four dwelling units, the Licensee must provide a copy of the rental license certificate to each tenant by attaching the copy to the Tenant's copy of the executed lease agreement.
Coon Rapids Code of Ordinances ch. 12-900 § 12-911 establishes how rental license certificates must be made accessible to tenants based on building size. In buildings with four or more units, the certificate must be framed behind clear glass or plastic, mounted on a wall, and placed in a lobby or common area where all tenants can see it. In smaller buildings with fewer than four units, tenants must receive a copy of the certificate attached directly to their copy of the signed lease agreement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Coon Rapids Code of Ordinances ch. 12-900 § 12-911, compliant operators of larger rental properties keep the license certificate mounted in a frame with a clear glass or plastic cover in a common area visible to all residents. Operators of smaller properties — those with fewer than four units — attach a copy of the certificate to each tenant's executed lease at the time of signing. Maintaining these display and distribution practices helps demonstrate ongoing compliance with the city's rental licensing requirements.

Coon Rapids Code of Ordinances ch. 12-900 § 12-911 gives tenants the right to see or receive a copy of their building's rental license certificate. If you live in a building with four or more units, the certificate should be visibly posted in a framed display in a lobby or common area; if you live in a smaller building, a copy should have been attached to your lease when you signed it. Tenants who believe this requirement has not been met may consider contacting the City of Coon Rapids directly or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
