(6) Whether the new owner will terminate or not renew rental agreements without cause during the three-month tenant notification period, and, if so, notice to the affected housing unit tenants whose rental agreements will terminate and the date the rental agreements will terminate.
(7) Whether the new owner intends to increase rent, require existing tenants to be rescreened to determine compliance with existing or modified residency screening criteria, terminate or not renew housing unit rental agreements, or impose a material change in the terms of the lease without cause within 30 days immediately following the tenant notification period.
(8) The date that the tenant notification period will expire.

Plain English

Shoreview Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-123 establishes a notice requirement triggered whenever a housing property changes ownership. Within 30 days of closing, the new owner must deliver a written notice to every tenant that includes the owner's contact information, a description of tenant rights during the three-month notification period, and specific disclosures about any planned rent increases, rescreening requirements, lease changes, or non-renewals. A copy of that same notice must simultaneously be filed with the city's community development department. During the three-month tenant notification period, the new owner may not take any of those actions without first having provided the required notices.

For Property Managers

Under Shoreview Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-123, compliant new property owners prepare and deliver a written notice to each tenant within 30 days of the real estate closing, ensuring it contains all eight required elements — including contact information, the mandated statutory statement about relocation assistance, and clear disclosures about any planned rent increases, rescreening, lease modifications, or non-renewals. Operators also file a copy of that notice with the city community development department at the same time it goes to tenants. Owners who intend to take any of the listed actions during or immediately after the three-month notification period must include those specifics in the notice before the period begins, since acting without proper notice is prohibited under the ordinance.

For Tenants

Shoreview Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-123 gives tenants the right to receive written notice from a new property owner within 30 days of a sale, including details about any planned rent increases, rescreening requirements, lease changes, or non-renewals during the three-month tenant notification period. If a new owner fails to deliver the required notice or takes one of those actions without proper disclosure, tenants may have grounds to claim relocation assistance as described in chapter 30, article III. Tenants who believe their rights under this provision have not been honored can contact the Shoreview city community development department or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
