Operative Text
No owner, operator or occupant may cause any service, utility, facility or equipment required under this Chapter to be removed from or shut off from any occupied dwelling or dwelling unit except for such temporary interruptions as may be necessary during repairs or alterations. HISTORY Amended by Ord. 1419 on 3/11/2024
Fridley City Code § 507.06 establishes that services, utilities, facilities, and equipment that are required under Chapter 507 must remain available to occupied dwellings and dwelling units. Owners, operators, and occupants are all prohibited from removing or shutting off these essential resources while a unit is occupied. The only recognized exception is a temporary interruption that is genuinely necessary to carry out repairs or alterations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 507.06, compliant rental operators in Fridley maintain continuous access to all Chapter 507-required services, utilities, facilities, and equipment for occupied units. When repairs or alterations require a temporary service interruption, operators generally document the necessity and duration of the outage and restore service as promptly as possible. Planned interruptions that go beyond what is reasonably necessary for the work at hand fall outside the narrow exception the provision allows.

Section § 507.06 of Fridley's residential rental code gives occupants the right to continuous access to all services, utilities, facilities, and equipment required under Chapter 507, with only narrow exceptions for genuine repair-related interruptions. If a landlord, operator, or other party removes or shuts off a required service without a legitimate repair justification, that conduct may constitute a violation of this provision. Tenants who believe this rule has been violated can document the disruption, contact Fridley's code enforcement office, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to learn about available options.
