Rochester, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 7 § 7-3-28 establishes the methods by which a notice is considered legally delivered in the context of local housing regulations.

This rule sets a clear standard for what counts as proper service, ensuring both parties have a recognized framework for communication.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Rochester, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 7 § 7-3-28, compliant property operators generally ensure that any required notice is delivered through one of the approved methods: in-person delivery, electronic transmission, or certified or first-class mail sent to the tenant's last known address. Keeping accurate records of the delivery method used—such as certified mail receipts, electronic delivery confirmations, or written acknowledgments of in-person service—helps demonstrate that proper service was completed. Maintaining up-to-date contact information for tenants supports compliance with the last-known-address requirement.
