Sartell, Minn., City Code title 4 ch. 8 (2026) § 4-8-7
Display of License
Operative Text
4-8-7: DISPLAY OF LICENSE: Every licensee of a rental property shall conspicuously display at all times on the premises a copy of the current license. This license shall be accessible so as to be easily viewed and readable by the occupants of the rental property.
Section 4-8-7 of Sartell's Rental Property Licensing and Maintenance code requires that a copy of the current rental property license be posted on the premises at all times in a location that is conspicuous, easily seen, and readable by occupants. The rule is not satisfied by simply obtaining a license — the license must also be physically displayed in an accessible spot. This is an ongoing obligation that applies for the entire duration of the license period.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 4-8-7, compliant rental property operators post a copy of the current license in a common area or other location where occupants can readily see and read it without having to request access. Operators generally update the displayed copy whenever a new license is issued to ensure the posted version is always current. Keeping a consistent, designated display spot — such as a building entryway or laundry room bulletin board — helps demonstrate ongoing compliance during any inspection.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 4-8-7 gives occupants of a rental property the right to see a copy of the current rental license displayed somewhere accessible on the premises at all times. If a license is not visibly posted, that may constitute a violation of Sartell's Rental Property Licensing and Maintenance code, which tenants can report to the City of Sartell. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Minnesota municipal codes can help explain what options are generally available when a landlord is not meeting display requirements.
