Plain English

Maplewood City Code ch. 12, art. XIII § 12-612 establishes that anyone holding or seeking a rental housing license — or the manager who oversees the rental property — must complete at least the Phase I crime-free rental housing course, or a comparable course approved by the city manager, as a condition of obtaining or renewing that license. The training requirement is separate from, and does not replace, standard license and inspection fees; course costs are an additional expense. The city manager sets the schedule on which attendance is required.

For Property Managers

Under Maplewood City Code ch. 12, art. XIII § 12-612, compliant rental operators ensure that either the licensee or the property manager with control over the dwelling units completes the Phase I crime-free rental housing course — or a city-manager-approved equivalent — before or during each applicable license cycle. Operators budget for course fees as a distinct cost on top of standard licensing and inspection fees, since the provision explicitly treats them as separate obligations. Staying current with the attendance schedule set by the city manager is part of maintaining an active rental license in Maplewood.

For Tenants

Maplewood City Code ch. 12, art. XIII § 12-612 requires that landlords or their property managers complete crime-free rental housing training as a condition of holding a valid rental license, which means tenants can check whether their landlord's license is in good standing as one way to assess compliance. If a landlord is operating without a properly maintained license — including failure to meet training requirements — tenants may have grounds to raise that status with the relevant Maplewood licensing or housing authority. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Maplewood's rental licensing framework can help residents understand what options may be available when a landlord appears out of compliance with § 12-612.
