Sartell, Minn., City Code title 4 ch. 8 (2026) § 4-8-9
Applicable Laws
Operative Text
4-8-9: APPLICABLE LAWS: Licensees shall be subject to all of the provisions of the ordinances of the City and the laws of the State relating to rental units; and this Ordinance shall not be construed or interpreted to supersede any other such applicable ordinance or law.
Section 4-8-9 of Sartell's Rental Property Licensing and Maintenance ordinance establishes that rental property licensees remain bound by all other applicable City ordinances and Minnesota state laws governing rental units. The provision also makes clear that this particular ordinance does not override or replace any other existing legal requirement. In other words, compliance with the licensing ordinance alone does not satisfy every legal obligation a rental property operator may have.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 4-8-9, holding a Sartell rental property license does not limit or replace obligations that arise from other City of Sartell ordinances or Minnesota state law. Operators who are in compliance with the licensing framework generally also maintain awareness of and adherence to the full range of applicable local and state regulations — such as building codes, habitability standards, and landlord-tenant statutes. Treating the rental license as one layer of a broader compliance picture, rather than a standalone requirement, reflects how § 4-8-9 is structured.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 4-8-9 affirms that tenants in Sartell rental units are protected not only by the licensing ordinance itself but also by the full body of City ordinances and Minnesota state law that apply to rental housing. This means a landlord's possession of a rental license does not shield them from obligations under other local or state rules. Tenants who believe a separate ordinance or state law has been violated may find it useful to contact a local tenant-rights organization or the relevant City or state agency to understand what additional protections may apply under § 4-8-9's framework.
