Kasson, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 96 (2026) § 96.28
SUSPENSION AND REVOCATION OF REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE
Operative Text
(A) Any registration certificate issued by the city pursuant to the provisions of this subchapter may be suspended or revoked upon a finding that the certificate holder, during the term of the certificate, failed to comply with any provision of this subchapter. (B) A person's right to apply and receive a registration certificate may be suspended or revoked upon a finding that the applicant has let to another for occupancy any dwelling, or any apartment or rooming unit in any dwelling, without first obtaining a registration certificate as required by this subchapter and, during such time, the premises were involved in a disorderly use, as defined below. (C) Whenever it appears to the Council that adequate grounds may exist for the suspension or revocation of a registration certificate, or the right to receive a registration certificate, the Council shall by resolution specify the nature of the alleged grounds and order that a hearing on the matter be held as provided below. (D) No suspension or revocation shall be effective until the license or permit holder has been afforded an opportunity for a hearing under §§ 14.57 to 14.70 of the State Administrative Procedure Act. (E) Upon a finding that the registration certificate holder or applicant has violated this subchapter, the Council may invoke any of the sanctions provided in this subchapter.

Kasson Ch. 96 § 96.28 establishes the conditions under which the city may suspend or revoke a rental housing registration certificate — or a person's right to obtain one. A certificate can be pulled if the holder failed to comply with any part of the subchapter during the certificate's term, or if someone rented out a dwelling without a required certificate while the property was involved in a disorderly use. Critically, no suspension or revocation takes effect until the affected party has been given a formal hearing opportunity under §§ 14.57 to 14.70 of the State Administrative Procedure Act, and the City Council must first pass a resolution identifying the alleged grounds before any such proceeding begins.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Kasson Ch. 96 § 96.28, compliant rental operators maintain an active, valid registration certificate and ensure their properties remain in conformance with all subchapter requirements throughout the certificate's term. Renting out a dwelling unit without first securing the required registration — particularly when the property becomes associated with a disorderly use — can expose a certificate holder or applicant to suspension or revocation of their registration rights. Operators who receive a Council resolution identifying alleged grounds for suspension or revocation generally participate in the hearing process provided under the State Administrative Procedure Act before any sanction becomes effective.

Kasson Ch. 96 § 96.28 provides that a landlord's registration certificate — required to legally rent dwelling units in the city — can be suspended or revoked for subchapter violations, including renting without a certificate while the property is tied to a disorderly use. Tenants who believe their landlord is operating without a valid registration, or is otherwise violating the subchapter, may consider raising this as a concern with the City Council, which is the body empowered to initiate suspension or revocation proceedings under this section. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Kasson's rental housing rules can help residents understand what options may be available to them in connection with § 96.28.
