Shoreview, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-125
Tenant complaints
Operative Text
A tenant of a housing unit who believes the new owner has not provided the tenant the notifications required under this article may submit a notice of violation to the city. The purpose of the notice is to inform the city of an alleged violation of this article to assist the city in determining whether to impose an administrative penalty provided for in this article. The city is not required to take any particular action in response to a notice of violation and any enforcement action it does take shall be on behalf of the city, not the tenant. Filing a notice of violation does not prohibit the tenant from pursuing any remedy available to the tenant under the law.
Shoreview Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-125 establishes a process by which a tenant who believes a new property owner failed to provide required notifications can submit a notice of violation to the city. The city uses such notices to help determine whether to impose an administrative penalty, though it retains full discretion over whether and how to act. Any enforcement the city undertakes is on the city's behalf, and a tenant's ability to pursue separate legal remedies is not affected by filing or not filing such a notice.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Shoreview Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-125, a tenant who does not receive the notifications required by this article has a formal channel to alert the city, which may then evaluate whether to impose an administrative penalty. Compliant property owners and managers generally ensure that all required ownership-transfer notifications are delivered to tenants in a timely and documented manner. Maintaining clear records of when and how notifications were provided is a common practice that supports demonstrating compliance if a notice of violation is ever submitted.

Shoreview Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-125 gives tenants a way to formally notify the city if they believe a new owner failed to deliver the notifications this article requires. Submitting a notice of violation to the city is one available step, though the city is not obligated to take any specific action and any action it does take is on its own behalf. Importantly, filing such a notice does not limit a tenant's ability to pursue other remedies available under the law, and tenants may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization to understand the full range of options.
