Fairmont, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 27 (2026) § 27-9
Posting rental license
Operative Text
The owner shall arrange for a copy of the rental license to be posted continuously on an inside sidewall of the kitchen sink cabinet. (Ord. No. 2021-03 , 11-22-21)
Fairmont Ch. 27 Rental Housing Standards § 27-9 establishes that rental properties must display a copy of the rental license in a specific, consistent location: on an inside sidewall of the kitchen sink cabinet. The requirement is ongoing, meaning the license must remain posted at all times rather than only during inspections or lease signings. This rule creates a standardized, accessible location where the license can be verified by anyone with access to the unit.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Fairmont Ch. 27 § 27-9, compliant property owners ensure that a copy of the rental license is affixed to the inside sidewall of the kitchen sink cabinet in each rental unit and that it remains in place continuously throughout the tenancy. Operators generally check during unit turnovers and routine inspections to confirm the posting has not been removed, damaged, or obscured. Keeping a supply of license copies on hand makes it straightforward to replace a posting that has been lost or deteriorated.

Fairmont Ch. 27 § 27-9 gives tenants a clear expectation: a copy of the property's rental license should be visible on the inside sidewall of the kitchen sink cabinet at all times. If the license is absent, tenants may note this as a potential code compliance issue and can contact the appropriate Fairmont municipal authority to inquire about the property's licensing status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local Fairmont ordinances can help explain what options are generally available when a landlord does not meet posting requirements.
