Saint Bonifacius, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 150 (2026) § 151.10
POSTED TO PREVENT OCCUPANCY
Operative Text
Whenever any rental dwelling unit has been denied an initial license or had its license revoked, suspended, denied or not renewed, it shall be posted by the Code Official to prevent further occupancy. No person, other than the Code Official, shall remove or alter any posting. The Code Official will post the date the rental dwelling unit shall be vacated and no person shall reside in, occupy or cause to be occupied that rental dwelling unit until the Code Official permits it. (Ord. 82B, passed 2-16-2011) Penalty, see § 151.99
Saint Bonifacius Ch. 150 § 151.10 establishes that when a rental dwelling unit loses its license—whether through denial, revocation, suspension, or non-renewal—the Code Official is authorized to post the unit to prevent anyone from living there. The posting includes a vacate date, and the unit must remain unoccupied until the Code Official formally permits re-occupancy. Only the Code Official may remove or alter that posting; tampering with it by any other person is prohibited under this provision.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Saint Bonifacius Ch. 150 § 151.10, operators whose rental units have had a license denied, revoked, suspended, or not renewed should expect the Code Official to post the unit against occupancy. Compliant property managers ensure that posted notices are left entirely intact and that no tenants are allowed to move in or remain until the Code Official has formally cleared the unit for re-occupancy. Keeping licensing current and addressing any compliance deficiencies promptly is the general practice that helps operators avoid reaching the posting stage in the first place.

Saint Bonifacius Ch. 150 § 151.10 means that if a rental unit you occupy or are considering renting has been posted by the Code Official, residing there is not permitted until official clearance is granted. If you believe a posting has been improperly applied to your unit, or if you are being pressured to occupy or remain in a posted unit, tenant-rights organizations and local housing authorities can help you understand your options. Penalties for violations of this section are referenced in § 151.99, which may be relevant if you are seeking to understand the consequences a landlord could face for allowing occupancy of a posted unit.
General guidance for tenants — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult a tenant-rights organization or attorney for advice on your case.
