MAINTENANCE STANDARDS
Operative Text
Every rental unit shall be maintained in accordance with the requirements and standards of all applicable city and state ordinances, laws, rules, and regulations. (Ord. 213, passed 2-7-00) Penalty, see § 151.999
Section 151.072 of the Perham Rental Registration and Inspection code establishes that every rental unit must be kept in compliance with all applicable city and state laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations. This is a broad maintenance standard that incorporates by reference any other local or state requirement that applies to residential rental housing. The rule does not specify a single checklist but instead ties the unit's required condition to the full body of applicable law at any given time.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 151.072, compliant rental operators in Perham generally ensure that each unit is continuously maintained to meet every applicable city and state standard — including building codes, housing codes, and health and safety regulations. Staying current with changes to local ordinances and state law is a routine part of responsible property management under this provision. Operators commonly conduct periodic inspections of their own units and address deficiencies before they become code violations, since penalties are referenced at § 151.999.

Section 151.072 gives tenants a basis to expect that their rental unit will be maintained in accordance with all applicable city and state laws and regulations. If a unit appears to fall short of those standards, tenants may have options such as filing a complaint with the City of Perham or the relevant state agency, raising a violation of § 151.072 as part of a housing dispute, or contacting a local tenant-rights organization for general information. Reviewing the penalty provisions at § 151.999 can also help tenants understand what consequences a landlord may face for non-compliance.
