Frazee, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 2 (2026) § 9-2-13
MAINTENANCE STANDARDS
Operative Text
Every rental unit must be maintained in compliance with the Building Code, dwelling maintenance standards, nuisance ordinance and noise ordinance of the City, State Nuisance Statutes, State Building Codes, State Fire Code, respectively, as now in force and hereafter amended, revised or replaced, and in compliance with all other standards, ordinances, laws and regulations governing use, occupancy, construction and maintenance of property and conduct of persons on that property. Rental unit registration does not constitute certification of compliance with such codes, standards, ordinances or statutes by the City. (Ord. 151, 9-10-2018)
Frazee Ch. 2 Rental Units § 9-2-13 establishes that every rental unit in the city must continuously meet a broad set of local and state standards, including building codes, dwelling maintenance rules, nuisance ordinances, noise ordinances, state fire codes, and any other applicable laws governing how property is used, occupied, constructed, and maintained. The rule applies to all such codes as they currently exist and as they may be updated over time. Importantly, the fact that a unit is registered with the city does not mean the city has certified that the unit actually meets these requirements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Frazee Ch. 2 Rental Units § 9-2-13, compliant property operators generally conduct regular inspections of their rental units to confirm ongoing adherence to local building codes, dwelling maintenance standards, nuisance and noise ordinances, and applicable state codes including the State Fire Code. Operators typically treat registration as an administrative step only, separate from the substantive obligation to maintain code compliance at all times. Staying current with any amendments or replacements to these codes is part of standard property management practice under this provision.

Frazee Ch. 2 Rental Units § 9-2-13 gives tenants a basis to expect that their rental unit will be maintained in compliance with local and state building, maintenance, nuisance, noise, and fire codes throughout their tenancy. If a unit appears to fall short of these standards, tenants generally have options such as contacting the relevant city or state code enforcement office, raising the violation in a housing proceeding, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance. It is worth knowing that a unit's registration status with the city does not, under this provision, serve as any guarantee that the unit meets the required standards.
