Kasson, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 96 (2026) § 96.26
FAILURE TO REGISTER
Operative Text
Every person required to register a dwelling, apartment or rooming unit offered for rent under the provisions of this subchapter and who fails to do so, or who allows the property to be occupied when the registration certificate or right to receive the registration certificate is revoked or suspended, shall be guilty of a violation of this code. Each day that a property is rented out without a valid rental registration certificate on file for that property is a separate violation. (Prior Code, § 28-9) (Ord. 800, passed - -)
Kasson Ch. 96 § 96.26 establishes that any person who is required to register a dwelling, apartment, or rooming unit for rent but fails to do so — or who allows a property to be occupied while its registration certificate is revoked or suspended — commits a code violation. Critically, the rule treats each individual day that a property is rented without a valid registration certificate on file as its own separate violation, meaning violations can accumulate over time. The provision applies to all rental property types covered by the subchapter's registration requirements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Kasson Ch. 96 § 96.26 generally ensure that a valid rental registration certificate is on file before any dwelling, apartment, or rooming unit is occupied by a tenant. Compliant operators also monitor the status of existing certificates, taking units off the rental market if a certificate is revoked or suspended until the registration is restored. Because each day of non-compliant rental activity constitutes a separate violation under § 96.26, maintaining current registration records is a routine administrative priority for operators with multiple units or staggered lease cycles.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under Kasson Ch. 96 § 96.26, tenants have an interest in knowing whether their unit carries a valid rental registration certificate, since renting out an unregistered unit — or one whose certificate has been revoked or suspended — is a code violation by the landlord. Tenants who believe their unit may lack proper registration can inquire with the relevant Kasson municipal authority responsible for rental housing compliance. General enforcement paths may include filing a complaint with the local code enforcement office, raising the registration status as a relevant fact in housing proceedings, or consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Kasson's rental housing rules.
