Hoyt Lakes, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 153 (2026) § 153.13
FAILURE TO GRANT REGISTRATION, REVOCATION, SUSPENSION OR FAILURE TO RENEW REGISTRATION
Operative Text
(A) The city reserves the right to not register a rental unit unless it complies with the requirements of this chapter. (B) Any registration issued under this chapter is subject to the right, which is hereby expressly reserved by the city, to deny, suspend, revoke or not renew the same should the registration holder or their agents, employees, representatives or lessees directly or indirectly operate or maintain the rental dwellings contrary to the provisions of this chapter or any other ordinance of the city or any special permit issued by the city, or the laws of the State of Minnesota. Provided, however, registration shall not be denied, suspended, revoked or not renewed if the registration holder complies with a compliance order or orders in a reasonably timely manner as determined by the City Administrator. (C) The City Administrator shall notify the applicant that registration has been denied, or the registration holder that registration is being suspended, revoked or not renewed. The suspension, revocation or non-renewal shall occur 35 days after the date of the notification order, or at such later date as set out in the notification. (D) A determination by the City Administrator to deny, suspend, revoke or not renew registration of a rental unit may be appealed to the City Council by filing with the City Administrator a written notice of appeal within 15 days of the date on which the City Administrator mails such determination to the applicant or registration holder. In that event, the appeal will be heard by the City Council at its next meeting occurring at least 15 days after the filing of the notice of appeal. (E) At any appeal of a determination by the City Administrator under this chapter, the registration holder or applicant, local property manager for the registration holder or applicant, or an attorney representing them, may appear and make a presentation to the City Council. The City Administrator shall present to the City Council the basis for the determination being appealed. After the hearing, the Council may uphold, reverse or modify the decision of the City Administrator based upon the provisions of this chapter and upon the protection of the public health, sanitation, safety or general welfare of the community at large or the residents of rental units within the city. The City Council shall issue written findings and determination within 31 days of the hearing, unless the Council extends that time for good cause. (F) A decision of the City Council made as provided in this section may be appealed by Writ of Certiorari to the Court of Appeals of the State of Minnesota pursuant to its Rules of Civil Appellate Procedure. (Ord. 236, passed 11-28-2022)
Hoyt Lakes Ch. 153 § 153.13 establishes the city's authority to deny, suspend, revoke, or decline to renew a rental unit registration when the property is operated in violation of city ordinances, special permits, or Minnesota state law. A registration action does not take effect until 35 days after the City Administrator issues written notice, giving the registration holder a window before the action becomes final. The provision also creates a structured appeal path: first to the City Council, and ultimately to the Minnesota Court of Appeals by Writ of Certiorari.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 153.13, operators of registered rental units in Hoyt Lakes generally maintain compliance with all applicable city ordinances, special permits, and state law to avoid triggering a denial, suspension, revocation, or non-renewal of registration. Importantly, the provision includes a safe-harbor mechanism: a registration action will not proceed if the holder responds to a compliance order in a reasonably timely manner as determined by the City Administrator. Operators who receive a denial or adverse action notice have 15 days from the date of mailing to file a written notice of appeal with the City Administrator, initiating a City Council hearing.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 153.13 of Hoyt Lakes Ch. 153 gives the city tools to pull or withhold a landlord's rental registration when a property is not being maintained in accordance with local ordinances or Minnesota law, which can be relevant to tenants living in units where conditions are substandard. Tenants who believe their unit may be operating without a valid registration, or that conditions warrant a registration action, may contact the city to inquire about the status of a unit's registration. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand how registration status under § 153.13 may relate to their housing situation and what options may be available to them.
