(2) False or misleading information given or provided in connection with a registration application.

Minn. Stat. §§ 97B.021 , 97B.045 , 609.66 through 609.67 and 624.712 through 624.716 , and chapter 503 of this Code, which prohibit the unlawful possession, transportation, sale or use of weapon; g. Minn. Stat. 609.72 , which prohibits disorderly conduct; h. Chapters 404 , 405, 906, 1004, 1005, and 1013; and i. Minn. Stat. §§ 609.221 , 609.222 , 609.223 , 609.2231 and 609.224 , regarding assaults in the first, second, third, fourth and fifth degree. (b) Registration suspension shall be for a term not less than 180 days for the first suspension and 365 days for the second suspension. Depending on the gravity of the offense, the council may impose longer suspension timeframes than noted in this subsection. (c) Registration revocation shall be considered by the city council when violations occur under subsection (a) of this section and when two prior suspensions occurred under the same registrant. (d) In order to reinstate a suspended rental registration, the applicant shall apply following the same process as if applying for a new rental registration. Reinstatements following suspension will only be considered when the circumstances leading to the suspension have been remedied, the suspension penalty imposed by the city council has been satisfied, and upon city council approval. (e) If a rental registration is revoked, reinstatement may only be considered by the city council if there is an ownership change. Ownership change to a family member of the prior owner, or entity affiliated with the prior owner shall not constitute compliance with this requirement. (f) Repeat nuisance service call fees shall be applied pursuant to chapter 510 .
Under Roseville Code of Ordinances ch. 1201 § 1201.21, the city council holds authority to suspend or revoke a landlord's rental registration for a range of reasons, including repeated code violations, false information on a registration application, failure to maintain the property, or certain unlawful activities occurring on the premises. A first suspension must last at least 180 days, a second at least 365 days, and revocation becomes an option after two prior suspensions under the same registrant. Reinstatement after suspension requires demonstrating that the underlying problems have been corrected and obtaining city council approval; reinstatement after revocation is only considered if there has been a genuine change in ownership—transfers to family members or affiliated entities do not qualify.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Roseville Code of Ordinances ch. 1201 § 1201.21 generally keep their rental registrations in good standing by maintaining accurate registration applications, promptly addressing code deficiencies in their properties, and taking reasonable steps to prevent unlawful activity—including gambling, controlled-substance offenses, and disorderly conduct—by tenants, guests, or agents on the premises. Operators who accumulate three or more confirmed violations within a 180-day window, or who have two prior suspensions on record, face escalating consequences up to and including full revocation. Because reinstatement after revocation requires a genuine ownership change, maintaining ongoing compliance is far more straightforward than attempting to recover a revoked registration.

Tenants should be aware that under Roseville Code of Ordinances ch. 1201 § 1201.21, a rental registration suspension or revocation can be triggered not only by a landlord's conduct but also by violations committed by tenants, their guests, or their agents—such as certain drug, gambling, assault, or disorderly-conduct offenses on the property. If a tenant believes their landlord's registration has been improperly suspended or revoked, or that they are being displaced as a result of enforcement action, they may contact the City of Roseville directly for information about the status of a registration. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand how a suspension or revocation may affect their housing situation and what options may be available to them.
