INSPECTION
Operative Text
(A) Upon receipt of an application for any dwelling unit rental license, the City Administrator's designee shall forward a copy of such application to the Building Official/enforcement officer, whereupon the applicant/owner shall, within 30 days after receiving such application, schedule inspection of the property to be licensed with the Building Official/enforcement officer to determine whether such property complies with the provisions of applicable codes and statutes. No rental license shall be issued by the city unless the property complies with the provisions of the City Code, Minnesota State Building Code, and the International Property Maintenance Code which pertain to such dwelling unit. (B) Each rental license fee will include one initial inspection and one re-inspection. Each additional inspection as required to be in compliance of this chapter shall be paid prior to re-inspection. Re-inspection fees shall be established by a resolution of the City Council and posted in the City of Le Sueur Governmental Fee Schedule. (Ord. 549, passed 10-12-2015; Ord. 578, passed 11-26-2018)
Le Sueur Ch. 115 Rental Regulations § 115.13 establishes that every rental property must pass an inspection before the city will issue a rental license. When a license application is received, the property owner has 30 days to schedule an inspection with the Building Official to verify compliance with the City Code, Minnesota State Building Code, and the International Property Maintenance Code. Each license fee covers one initial inspection and one re-inspection, but any additional inspections required to achieve compliance carry separate fees set by City Council resolution and listed in the city's Governmental Fee Schedule.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 115.13, compliant rental operators in Le Sueur promptly schedule their property inspection with the Building Official within the 30-day window after submitting a license application. Operators ensure their properties meet the City Code, Minnesota State Building Code, and the International Property Maintenance Code before the inspection date to minimize the need for additional re-inspections. Because each license fee covers only one initial inspection and one re-inspection, operators who anticipate needing further inspections budget accordingly by consulting the City of Le Sueur Governmental Fee Schedule for current re-inspection fee amounts.

Section § 115.13 means that any rental unit in Le Sueur should have passed a city inspection confirming it meets applicable building and property maintenance codes before a landlord can legally rent it out. Tenants who have concerns about whether their unit was properly licensed and inspected can contact the Le Sueur City Administrator's office or Building Official to inquire about the property's inspection and licensing status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Minnesota housing law can help renters understand what options may be available if a unit is found to be operating without a valid rental license under § 115.13.
