New Brighton, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 18, art. VI § 18-435
Tenant complaints
Operative Text
(a) A tenant of a housing unit who believes the new owner has not provided the tenant the notifications required under this article may submit a notice of violation to the city. The purpose of the notice is to inform the city of an alleged violation of this article to assist the city in determining whether to impose an administrative penalty provided for in this section. The city is not required to take any particular action in response to a notice of violation, and any enforcement action it does take shall be on behalf of the city, not the tenant. (b) Filing a notice of violation does not prohibit the tenant from pursuing any remedy available to the tenant under law.
New Brighton Code of Ordinances ch. 18, art. VI § 18-435 establishes a process by which tenants can formally notify the city when they believe a new property owner has failed to provide required notifications under Article VI. The city receives these notices to help it decide whether to pursue an administrative penalty, but it retains full discretion over whether and how to act. Any enforcement the city undertakes is on the city's behalf, not the tenant's, and filing such a notice does not foreclose other legal remedies the tenant may have.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under New Brighton Code of Ordinances ch. 18, art. VI § 18-435, property owners who acquire a housing unit are expected to provide tenants with all notifications required by Article VI in a timely manner. Failure to do so may prompt a tenant to submit a notice of violation to the city, which can trigger a review and potential administrative penalty. Compliant operators typically document when and how required notifications were delivered to tenants as a matter of standard practice.

Section 18-435 of the New Brighton Code of Ordinances gives tenants a formal channel to report to the city when they believe a new owner has not provided the notifications required under Article VI. Submitting a notice of violation to the city does not limit any other legal remedies that may be available to you, such as raising the violation as a defense in a legal proceeding or consulting a tenant-rights organization about your options. Keep in mind that the city decides independently whether to act on a notice, and any action it takes is on the city's behalf rather than yours.
