Minnetonka, Minn., Mun. Code Sec. 530 (2026) § 530.05
Violations
Operative Text
1. It is unlawful for any person to provide false information on the required registration form. 2. It is unlawful for any person or entity to operate or cause to operate any property as a residential rental property that does not have a current certificate of registration. (Added by Ord. No. 2023-20, effective February 3, 2024)
Minnetonka Sec. 530.05 establishes two distinct prohibitions in the city's rental dwelling registration framework. First, submitting false information on a required rental registration form is unlawful for any person. Second, operating a residential rental property without a current, valid certificate of registration is also unlawful, applying to both individuals and entities. These rules are designed to ensure that rental housing in Minnetonka is accurately documented and officially registered before tenants occupy it.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Minnetonka Sec. 530.05, compliant rental property operators maintain a current certificate of registration for each residential rental property before it is operated as such. Operators also ensure that all information submitted on registration forms is accurate and complete, since providing false information is independently unlawful. Keeping registration records up to date and renewing certificates before they lapse are practices consistent with operating within the bounds of this provision.

Minnetonka Sec. 530.05 means that tenants have a basis to inquire whether their rental property holds a current certificate of registration, since operating without one is unlawful. If a property appears to lack valid registration or if a tenant suspects false information was submitted, they may consider contacting the City of Minnetonka's relevant code enforcement or housing office to report a potential violation. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Minnetonka's rental ordinances can help residents understand what options may be available under this provision.
