Grand Rapids, Minn., Mun. Code ch. 28 (2026) § 28-80
Applicable Laws
Operative Text
Registration permits will be subject to all of the ordinances of the City of Grand Rapids and the State of Minnesota relating to rental dwellings, and this chapter shall not be construed or interpreted to supersede or limit any other such applicable ordinance or law. HISTORY Adopted by Ord. 21-02-01 on 2/22/2021
Section 28-80 of Grand Rapids' Rental Housing Code establishes that registration permits for rental dwellings operate within the full framework of both city and state law. This provision makes clear that the Rental Housing Code does not override or narrow any other applicable ordinance or statute. In other words, compliance with Chapter 28 alone does not exempt a rental property from obligations imposed by other local or Minnesota state laws.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 28-80, holding a valid registration permit does not shield a rental property from the requirements of other Grand Rapids ordinances or Minnesota state laws governing rental dwellings. Operators who stay compliant generally maintain awareness of overlapping regulatory frameworks — such as building codes, health codes, and state landlord-tenant statutes — rather than treating Chapter 28 as a comprehensive checklist. Reviewing all applicable city and state requirements alongside the Rental Housing Code is a common practice among compliant property managers.

Section 28-80 affirms that tenants in Grand Rapids rental properties are protected by the full range of city ordinances and Minnesota state laws, not just the provisions of Chapter 28. This means that a landlord's possession of a registration permit does not limit a tenant's ability to invoke rights granted under other local or state rental housing laws. Tenants who believe additional ordinances or statutes apply to their situation may find it useful to consult a local tenant-rights organization or review Minnesota's landlord-tenant statutes for relevant protections.
