(B) A suspended certificate shall be reinstated when the circumstances leading to the suspension have been remedied and any reinstatement and inspection fee has been paid.

Le Sueur Ch. 115 Rental Regulations § 115.09 establishes the grounds on which the city may suspend or revoke a rental property certificate at any time. Grounds include submitting false information, failing to pay required fees, blocking city inspectors from accessing the property, or violating any applicable federal, state, or local law—including laws related to illegal substances. A suspended certificate can be reinstated once the underlying problem is corrected and reinstatement and inspection fees are paid; a revoked certificate requires a full new registration along with those fees before a new certificate can be issued.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 115.09, compliant rental operators in Le Sueur generally keep their registration information accurate and up to date, pay all required fees on time, and allow authorized city inspectors reasonable access to the property. Operators also ensure that the property and all activities on it remain in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws, since a violation—even one that does not result in a criminal conviction—can serve as grounds for suspension or revocation. If a certificate is suspended, addressing the underlying issue promptly and paying the reinstatement and inspection fee is the path to getting the certificate reinstated; revocation requires a full new registration process.

§ 115.09 gives the city of Le Sueur authority to suspend or revoke a landlord's rental certificate when the landlord fails to meet legal obligations, such as providing accurate registration information, paying fees, allowing inspections, or complying with applicable laws. Tenants who believe their landlord may be operating in violation of these requirements can contact the city to report concerns, since the city has the power to act on such grounds independently of any criminal proceeding. Tenant-rights organizations can help renters understand how a landlord's certificate status may affect their housing situation and what options may be available to them.
