Corcoran, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 118 § 118.04
RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACTS OF MANAGER
Operative Text
Licensees are responsible for the acts or omissions of their Manager(s) as it pertains to the rental dwelling and compliance with this chapter and City Code.
Under Corcoran Code of Ordinances ch. 118 § 118.04, a rental property licensee is legally accountable for the conduct of any manager they employ or designate. If a manager fails to comply with the chapter's requirements or the broader City Code, that failure is attributed to the licensee as if the licensee had acted or failed to act directly. The rule closes a potential gap where a property owner might otherwise avoid responsibility by delegating day-to-day management to a third party.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 118 § 118.04, property owners who hold a rental dwelling license bear full responsibility for their managers' compliance with the Corcoran City Code, not just their own direct actions. Compliant operators typically vet managers carefully, establish clear written expectations for code compliance, and maintain oversight of day-to-day management activities. Because any manager misstep is treated as the licensee's own, ongoing communication and periodic review of a manager's practices are hallmarks of responsible operation.

Section 118.04 of the Corcoran Code of Ordinances means that if a property manager violates rental dwelling rules, the licensed property owner cannot escape accountability by pointing to the manager as a separate party. Tenants who experience code violations by a manager may direct complaints or enforcement inquiries toward the licensee, since the law treats the owner and manager as a single point of responsibility. Tenant-rights organizations or local city offices can help identify the appropriate channels for raising concerns under this chapter.
