North Mankato Ch. 155 § 151.06 establishes the process and requirements for submitting a rental dwelling license application in the city. Applications must be filed with the City Clerk on approved forms and include detailed information about the applicant, the property, its occupants, and any prior criminal convictions. Intentionally providing false information or omitting required details can result in automatic denial of the application or revocation of any license already issued, and applications expire and become void 30 days after submission with no refund of fees.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under North Mankato Ch. 155 § 151.06, compliant rental property operators file their license applications directly with the City Clerk using the officially approved forms, ensuring every required field is completed accurately and truthfully. This includes providing a property sketch identifying all rental units, a parking plan, occupant names, and disclosure of any prior criminal convictions. Operators also keep in mind that applications lapse after 30 days and that fees are non-refundable, so timely and complete submission is a standard part of the licensing process. Renewal applicants may be eligible to use an abbreviated form as authorized by City Council resolution.

North Mankato Ch. 155 § 151.06 requires landlords to obtain a license for rental dwellings, and the application process includes disclosing occupant names and property details to the City Clerk. Tenants can verify whether their rental property is properly licensed by contacting the City Clerk's office, since the application records are part of the city's licensing process. If a landlord is found to have submitted a false application, the license can be voided — a fact that may be relevant to tenants who have concerns about the legitimacy of their landlord's operating status, and tenant-rights organizations can help explain what options may be available in such situations.
