Roseville, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 1201 § 1201.111
Tenant complaints
Operative Text
A tenant of a housing unit who believes the new owner has not provided the tenant the notifications required under this division may submit a notice of violation to the city. The purpose of the notice is to inform the city of an alleged violation of this division to assist the city in determining whether to impose an administrative penalty provided for in this division. The city is not required to take any particular action in response to a notice of violation, and any enforcement action it does take shall be on behalf of the city, not the tenant. Filing a notice of violation does not prohibit the tenant from pursuing any remedy available to the tenant under law.
Under Roseville Code of Ordinances ch. 1201 § 1201.111, when a new property owner fails to provide tenants with the notifications required by this division, tenants have a formal avenue to alert the city by submitting a notice of violation. The city receives these notices to help it decide whether to pursue an administrative penalty, but it is not obligated to take any specific action, and any enforcement it undertakes is on the city's behalf rather than the tenant's. Importantly, submitting such a notice does not foreclose any other legal remedies the tenant may otherwise have available.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Roseville Code of Ordinances ch. 1201 § 1201.111 establishes a tenant-facing complaint mechanism tied directly to the notification requirements in this division, meaning compliant operators ensure that all required ownership-transfer notifications are delivered to tenants promptly and completely. Keeping thorough records of when and how those notifications were provided is a practice consistent with demonstrating compliance if a notice of violation is ever submitted to the city. Because the city may use such notices to evaluate whether to impose an administrative penalty, operators generally treat the notification requirements as a priority step in any ownership transition.

Roseville Code of Ordinances ch. 1201 § 1201.111 gives tenants who believe a new owner has failed to provide required notifications the ability to submit a notice of violation directly to the city, putting the city on notice of an alleged violation. While the city is not required to act on that notice and any action it takes is on its own behalf, filing one does not limit or waive any other remedies a tenant may have under law. Tenants who are uncertain about their options under this provision may find it helpful to consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource for general information about the complaint process.
