Under § 358.12, out-of-state owners operating rental properties in Princeton, MN must identify a local agent—someone living within 50 miles of the rental dwelling—directly on the rental dwelling license application. Compliant operators ensure this agent designation is current and accurate so that City notices can be properly received and acted upon. Because the City will also send a concurrent copy of any notice to the owner, maintaining an up-to-date mailing address for the owner on file is a standard practice for operators subject to this provision.
