Under ch. 253 § 253-4, compliant rental operators in Isanti secure a City-issued license before allowing any tenant to occupy a unit and ensure that either the property owner or the designated property manager maintains a residence within 50 miles of the property. Once licensed, operators display the license prominently in the building's main entryway and in a conspicuous location within each rental unit. Keeping the posted license current and visible is part of ongoing compliance with this provision.

Section 253-4 of Isanti's Code of Ordinances gives tenants the ability to verify that their rental unit is properly licensed by checking for the posted license in the building's main entryway or inside the unit itself. If a license is not posted or a landlord appears to be operating without City approval, tenants may contact the City of Isanti to inquire about the unit's licensing status. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand what options may be available when a landlord is not in compliance with local licensing requirements.
