Little Canada, Minn., City Code § 3200 (2026) § 3200.170
SEVERABILITY:
Operative Text
3200.170. SEVERABILITY: If any provision of this Section is for any reason held to be invalid; such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Section. 3200-14
Section 3200.170 of the Little Canada Rental Housing Licensing code establishes a severability rule, meaning that if any single provision within Sections 3200.010–3200.170 is found legally invalid by a court or other authority, that finding does not invalidate the rest of the ordinance. The remaining provisions continue to operate as written, independent of the invalidated portion. This is a standard legal mechanism designed to preserve the overall regulatory framework even when one part is successfully challenged.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 3200.170, the Little Canada Rental Housing Licensing ordinance is structured so that a successful legal challenge to one specific requirement does not unravel the entire licensing framework. Compliant operators generally continue to follow all other provisions of Sections 3200.010–3200.170 regardless of any legal proceedings targeting a particular section. Staying current with all applicable requirements remains the standard practice, since most of the ordinance remains enforceable even if one clause is set aside.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 3200.170 means that if a landlord or other party successfully challenges one part of the Little Canada Rental Housing Licensing ordinance, tenants can still rely on the protections provided by the remaining sections. Rights and remedies established elsewhere in Sections 3200.010–3200.170 are not automatically eliminated by a ruling that strikes down a separate provision. Tenants who have questions about which specific protections remain in effect may consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource for general guidance.
