AGENT REQUIRED
Operative Text
(A) Each license holder of a dwelling unit within the city, rented or offered for rent for residential purposes, which license holder does not reside within a 30 mile radius of the city, as measured from Le Sueur City Hall, shall, by a written document executed and acknowledged by such license holder, appoint an agent residing within that area, upon which agent the city may serve notices pertaining to the administration of this section or of any provisions of the City Code pertaining to such dwelling unit, which service shall be as effective as if made upon such license holder. License holders or agents residing in the 30 mile limitation, shall provide toll-free telephone access to all tenants and city staff. (B) In those cases where an agent is employed, the license holder shall provide the City Administrator's office with the full name, date of birth, address and telephone number of such agent(s). A license holder shall provide written notice to the City Administrator's office, with the required information, whenever the agent for a licensed property is changed.

Le Sueur Ch. 115 Rental Regulations § 115.15 requires that any rental property license holder who lives more than 30 miles from Le Sueur City Hall must designate a local agent — within that same 30-mile radius — through a written, acknowledged document. That agent can receive official city notices on the license holder's behalf, with the same legal effect as if the notice were served directly on the owner. Both license holders and agents within the 30-mile area must also provide toll-free phone access to tenants and city staff. When an agent is used, the license holder must keep the City Administrator's office informed of the agent's full name, date of birth, address, and phone number, and must notify the office in writing within 48 hours whenever the agent changes.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 115.15, property owners who live beyond 30 miles of Le Sueur City Hall generally maintain a written agency appointment designating a local representative who can receive city notices on their behalf. Compliant operators keep the City Administrator's office supplied with current, complete contact information for any such agent — including full name, date of birth, address, and phone number — and submit updated written notice within 48 hours whenever that agent changes. Owners and agents within the 30-mile radius also ensure that toll-free telephone access is available to both tenants and city staff as required by this section.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section § 115.15 gives tenants a practical assurance that a locally reachable agent or owner is always on record with the city when a landlord lives far away, and that toll-free phone access must be provided. If you believe your landlord is not complying with this local-agent requirement — for example, if contact information is unavailable or notices cannot be properly served — you may consider raising the issue with the City Administrator's office, which is the office designated to receive agent information under this provision. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Le Sueur's rental regulations can help you understand what options may be available to you.
