Hopkins, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 20, art. III § 20-278
Other remedies
Operative Text
Enforcement actions provided in this article shall not be exclusive, and the city council may take any action with respect to a licensee, a tenant, or the licensed rental dwelling units as is authorized by this article or state law.
Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 20, art. III § 20-278 establishes that the enforcement tools described in Article III are not the only options available to the city. The city council retains the authority to pursue any additional action against a licensee, a tenant, or a rental dwelling unit that is permitted under the article or Minnesota state law. This means multiple enforcement mechanisms can be used simultaneously or in sequence, and no single remedy forecloses others.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 20, art. III § 20-278, rental property operators should understand that the city is not limited to a single enforcement response when a violation is identified. Compliant operators generally maintain their properties and licenses in good standing to avoid triggering any combination of the remedies available to the city council. Because the city can draw on both local article provisions and state law, the range of potential enforcement actions is broad.

Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 20, art. III § 20-278 means that tenants are not limited to a single avenue of protection when issues arise with a licensed rental dwelling. The city council's authority to act under both local and state law can provide multiple layers of accountability for landlords and property conditions. Tenants who believe a violation has occurred may consider contacting the city directly, reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization, or consulting with a legal aid office to understand what remedies may be available.
