Osseo, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 46 (2026) § 151.99
PENALTY
Operative Text
Any violation of any provision of §§ 151.20 et seq. is a misdemeanor. Each day a violation continues shall be a separate offense. (Ord. 2009-3, passed 8-24-2009)
Osseo Ch. 46 Rental Dwellings § 151.99 establishes that any breach of the rental dwelling provisions found in §§ 151.20 et seq. constitutes a misdemeanor under local law. Critically, the rule treats each day that a violation persists as a distinct, separate offense, meaning a single unresolved problem can accumulate multiple misdemeanor charges over time. This structure is designed to create ongoing legal pressure to bring properties into compliance promptly.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Osseo Ch. 46 § 151.99, property owners and managers who allow conditions that violate §§ 151.20 et seq. to persist face misdemeanor exposure that compounds daily. Compliant operators generally address code deficiencies as soon as they are identified, document corrective actions with dates, and confirm that repairs or changes fully resolve the cited condition. Because each day of non-compliance is treated as a separate offense, swift remediation is a hallmark of responsible property management in Osseo.

Osseo Ch. 46 § 151.99 gives tenants important context: violations of the rental dwelling code (§§ 151.20 et seq.) are not merely civil matters but misdemeanors, and each day they continue counts as a new offense. Tenants who believe a landlord is violating the rental dwelling provisions may consider reporting the condition to the appropriate Osseo municipal authority, which can trigger official inspection and enforcement. Tenant-rights organizations or a licensed attorney familiar with Minnesota housing law can help explain what options are available under this provision.
