Monticello Ch. 6 § 112.10 establishes the formal hearing process that the City Council must follow when a rental property license is being denied, suspended, revoked, or not renewed, or when an owner contests a compliance order. The Council schedules the hearing at its next regular meeting, reviews all submitted evidence and testimony, and then issues a written decision. If the Council ultimately revokes or denies a license, the property must be vacated and posted as off-limits until a valid license is obtained or reinstated.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 112.10, property owners facing license denial, suspension, revocation, or non-renewal are entitled to appear before the City Council and present evidence and arguments at a scheduled hearing. Compliant operators generally keep thorough documentation of property conditions and corrective actions so that relevant materials can be submitted at the hearing. If the Council's decision is unfavorable, § 112.10(E) preserves the right to appeal under state law, and the property must remain unoccupied until a license is obtained or reinstated to avoid further violations.

Section 112.10 provides that when a rental property's license is revoked, suspended, denied, or not renewed by the City Council, it becomes unlawful for anyone to occupy that dwelling until the owner secures a valid license. A notice of the Council's action will be posted on the property by the Building Official, signaling that the unit is not legally available for occupancy. Tenants who believe they are living in a property affected by a licensing action under § 112.10 may wish to contact the City of Monticello or a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options and protections may be available to them.
