PENALTY
Operative Text
Any person who violates this chapter shall be punished according to the laws of the State of Minnesota. A violation of this chapter shall constitute a fine. Each day a person maintains a temporary or permanent residence in violation of this chapter constitutes a separate violation. (Ord. 549, passed 10-12-2015)
Le Sueur Ch. 115 Rental Regulations § 115.99 establishes that violations of Chapter 115 are subject to punishment under Minnesota state law, with each violation treated as a fineable offense. Notably, every day that a person continues to occupy a temporary or permanent residence in violation of the chapter counts as its own separate violation. This means that an ongoing noncompliance situation can accumulate multiple distinct violations over time.

Under Le Sueur Ch. 115 Rental Regulations § 115.99, operators who remain out of compliance with Chapter 115 face fines that can compound on a daily basis, since each day of continued violation is treated as a separate offense under Minnesota law. Compliant operators generally ensure that all rental units and occupancy arrangements conform to Chapter 115 requirements before tenants take up residence, and they address any identified deficiencies promptly to avoid accumulating additional violations. Keeping thorough records of compliance efforts and corrective actions is a practice commonly associated with responsible property management under provisions like this one.
