HEARING PROCEDURE
Operative Text
(A) Scheduling of hearing. If the city makes a determination that it will be denying, suspending, revoking, or not renewing a license pursuant to this subchapter, or if the owner or resident agent is appealing the compliance order pursuant to §§ 152.12 , 152.13 , or 152.14 , the City Council shall conduct a hearing on the matter. The hearing shall be scheduled at the next regular City Council meeting following the date of the notice or receipt of the owner’s notice of appeal of a compliance order. (B) Hearing. At the hearing, the City Council shall hear all relevant evidence and arguments and shall review all testimony, documents, and other evidence submitted. The owner or resident agent shall have the opportunity to address the City Council at the hearing. (C) Findings. After the hearing is concluded, the City Council shall make findings on whether to uphold the compliance order or to revoke, suspend, deny, or not renew the license, or impose an administrative fine. The City Council shall issue a written decision within 30 days following the date of the hearing and shall send a copy of its decision to the owner and resident agent by mail. The decision shall specify the rental dwelling or units to which it applies. (D) No occupancy. If a license is revoked, suspended, denied, or not renewed by the City Council, it shall be unlawful for the owner or the resident agent to thereafter permit the occupancy of the rental dwelling or the unit. A notice of the action shall be posted by the City Manager or designee on the rental dwelling or the unit in order to prevent any further occupancy. No person shall reside in, occupy, or cause to be occupied that rental dwelling or unit until a license is obtained or reinstated by the owner. (E) Appeal. An owner may appeal the decision of the City Council as allowed under § 152.14 (D). (Prior Code, § 150.134) (Ord. 08-003, passed 4-22-2008; Ord. 2025-06, passed 10-28-2025)
Saint Anthony Ch. 155 Rental Housing Regulations § 152.15 establishes the formal hearing process that the City Council must follow when a rental housing license is being denied, suspended, revoked, or not renewed, or when an owner appeals a compliance order. The City Council schedules the hearing at its next regular meeting after notice is issued, reviews all submitted evidence and testimony, and must issue a written decision within 30 days of the hearing. If a license is ultimately revoked, suspended, denied, or not renewed, occupancy of the affected unit becomes unlawful until a license is obtained or reinstated, and a notice is posted on the property to that effect.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 152.15, property owners and resident agents facing license denial, suspension, revocation, or non-renewal are entitled to present evidence, documents, and arguments directly to the City Council at a scheduled hearing. Compliant operators generally keep thorough records of their property's condition and any correspondence with the city, as these materials may be submitted as evidence during the hearing process. Owners should also be aware that a written City Council decision will be mailed within 30 days of the hearing, and that a further appeal path exists under § 152.14(D) if the decision is unfavorable.

Section § 152.15 provides tenants with important protections by making it unlawful for an owner or resident agent to permit occupancy of a rental unit after the City Council has revoked, suspended, denied, or not renewed its license. A physical notice of the action will be posted on the affected dwelling or unit by the City Manager or designee, signaling that no one may legally reside there until a license is obtained or reinstated. Tenants who believe their unit may be affected by a license action can monitor City Council meeting agendas, review any posted notices on their building, and consult a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options may be available to them.
