Corcoran, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 118 § 118.08
A. Violations. A violation of this chapter is a misdemeanor. Each day a person fails to comply with a compliance order or other provision of this chapter shall constitute a separate offense. In addition to enforcement of criminal remedies, the City may issue administrative offense tickets, and/or take action on a license, or pursue any other remedy at law or in equity available to the City. The City's remedies shall be cumulative and may be pursued against multiple parties. The City's election to pursue any one remedy set forth herein shall not act as a bar to any other remedial action.
B. Assessment of unpaid administrative penalties. Any unpaid administrative penalty for failure to comply with the rental licensing provisions in this Chapter may be assessed against the property in the manner set forth in City Code.
C. Grounds for denial, suspension, or revocation. The City Council may deny, revoke, or suspend a license pursuant to this Section. During a suspension, the property for which the suspension occurred shall be included for purposes of calculating the number of eligible lots per block, unless found to be otherwise ineligible.
1. A license issued pursuant to this chapter may be denied, revoked, or suspended upon a finding of noncompliance with the provisions of this chapter. Further, non-disclosure, misrepresentation, or misstatement of material fact in any application for a license shall be prima facie showing of cause for revocation, suspension, or other such action restricting the privileges of a licensee, as determined by the City Council. Reinstatement of a suspended or revoked license shall be accompanied by a fee in an amount set by the City Council. Issuance of a new license after suspension or revocation shall be made in the manner provided for obtaining an initial license. Any Owner or principal of an Owner entity who has an interest in two or more licenses revoked pursuant to this chapter shall be ineligible to hold or have an interest in a license for a period of at least five years.
2. The City Council may, for cause, deny, revoke, or suspend a license or take other action restricting the privileges of a license subject to the following requirements:
a. The City shall provide written notice to the licensee containing a statement of reasons or causes for the proposed action together with a notice of a hearing.
b. The City Council shall conduct a hearing on the proposed action and hear relevant evidence the applicable City representatives and from the licensee or affected tenant, if any is offered. The City Council shall consider such evidence and provide findings of fact together with a statement of action taken, along with any applicable conditions of any such action or other action restricting the privileges of the licensee.
c. The City shall forward the findings and statement of action taken to the licensee by mailing the same to the address of record in the license.
D. Notification of tenants. Upon suspension, revocation, or denial of a license, or if the RDU is not licensed, the City will make reasonable efforts to notify all affected tenants.

Plain English

Corcoran Code of Ordinances ch. 118 § 118.08 establishes that violations of the city's rental licensing chapter are misdemeanors, with each day of noncompliance counting as a separate offense. The city may pursue multiple remedies simultaneously — including criminal enforcement, administrative tickets, and license actions — against one or more responsible parties. Unpaid administrative penalties can be assessed directly against the property, and the City Council has authority to deny, suspend, or revoke rental licenses after providing written notice and conducting a hearing.

For Property Managers

Under ch. 118 § 118.08, operators of rental properties in Corcoran generally maintain continuous compliance with all rental licensing requirements to avoid misdemeanor exposure that accumulates daily. Compliant operators ensure that all license applications are accurate and complete, since misrepresentation is treated as prima facie grounds for revocation or suspension. Owners who have had two or more licenses revoked should be aware that § 118.08 renders them ineligible to hold or have an interest in a license for at least five years, and reinstatement of any suspended or revoked license requires payment of a fee set by the City Council.

For Tenants

Tenants may also offer relevant evidence at City Council hearings convened to consider license actions affecting their housing. Tenants who believe their landlord is operating in violation of ch. 118 may consider contacting the City of Corcoran directly, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
