Osseo Ch. 46 Rental Dwellings § 151.22 establishes the city's intent to create uniform living-condition standards that apply to every rental dwelling in Osseo, regardless of whether the property holds a valid license. The subchapter is designed to protect residents by setting a consistent baseline, and it does not override or limit any other applicable local ordinances or laws. In other words, this provision works alongside—not instead of—other rules that may also govern rental housing.
