Dayton, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 113 (2026) § 113.028
LICENSE POSTING
Operative Text
Every registrant of a rental dwelling shall post the annual license issued by the City Manager. The annual license shall be conspicuously posted (in a frame with a glass covering) by the registrant, in a public corridor, hallway, or lobby of the rental dwelling for which they are issued. In a single-family home, the license should be posted in a way that doesn't take away from general appearance of the residence but should be accessible to view by city designee and renters. (Ord. 2018-18, passed 2-28-2018; Ord. 2019-07, passed 6-11-2019) Penalty, see § 113.999
Dayton Ch. 113 Rental Dwellings § 113.028 requires that every registered rental dwelling display its annual city-issued license in a visible, publicly accessible location within the property. For multi-unit buildings, the license must be framed under glass and placed in a common area such as a corridor, hallway, or lobby. For single-family rentals, the posting must remain accessible to city representatives and tenants while preserving the home's general appearance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 113.028, compliant rental property operators ensure that the annual license issued by the City Manager is displayed at all times in the required manner — framed under glass in a common area for multi-unit properties, or in an accessible but appearance-conscious location for single-family homes. Operators typically keep track of annual license renewals so that the posted license remains current. Failure to meet the posting requirement may trigger penalties under § 113.999.

Section § 113.028 gives tenants the right to view the property's current annual rental license in a common area of their building, or in an accessible location in a single-family home. If a license is not posted as required, tenants may report the issue to the relevant Dayton city office responsible for rental dwelling oversight. Tenant-rights organizations in the Dayton area can provide general information about what options may be available when a landlord does not comply with posting requirements.
