Richfield, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 407 § 407.15
Enforcement and administration
Operative Text
Subdivision 1.(a) The director is responsible for enforcement and administration of this Section. Subd. 2. Enforcement actions provided in this Section are not exclusive, and the City may take any action with respect to a licensee, a resident, or the licensed premises as is authorized by this code or State law.
Richfield Code of Ordinances § 407 § 407.15 designates the director as the official responsible for overseeing and enforcing the rental licensing rules established in this section. Importantly, the enforcement tools described within this section are not the only options available — the City retains the authority to pursue any additional action against a licensee, a resident, or a licensed property that is permitted under the broader city code or Minnesota state law. This means enforcement is cumulative rather than limited to a single prescribed remedy.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Richfield Code of Ordinances § 407 § 407.15, the director holds primary authority over enforcement and administration of the rental licensing program, meaning operators can expect the director's office to be the main point of contact for compliance matters. Compliant operators generally maintain their licensed premises in accordance with all applicable city code requirements and state law — not just the specific rules enumerated in § 407 — because the City's enforcement authority extends across that full range. Property managers benefit from understanding that the City is not limited to any single enforcement pathway when addressing violations.

Richfield Code of Ordinances § 407 § 407.15 establishes that the director is the responsible enforcement authority for the rental licensing program, giving tenants a clear point of reference when seeking to report conditions at a licensed property. Because the City's enforcement options are explicitly non-exclusive, tenants may find that multiple avenues — including city code provisions and state law — could apply to a given situation at their rental. Tenants who believe a violation has occurred may consider contacting the director's office, reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization, or consulting with a legal aid resource to understand which options may be available.
