Plain English — not legal advice.
Landlords operating under Moorhead Ch. 1105 § 9-7-9 can generally expect that any documentation submitted as part of the rental registration or inspection process will be retained and managed by the city. Compliant operators typically keep their own copies of submitted materials, since city-held records may be accessible to the public under state or local open-records rules. Being aware that registration and inspection records are potentially public can inform how property owners approach their documentation practices.
