Resident agent required
Operative Text
Owners who do not reside within the counties of Anoka, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, Washington Counties (the "metro area") must appoint an agent who does reside within the metropolitan area to be responsible for the maintenance of the dwelling unit, receipt of service of notice of violation, receipt of compliance order, institution or remedial action to effect such order, and acceptance of all service of process pursuant to law. The city manager shall be notified in writing of any change in the identification of the agent within five business days of such change. Agents listed for short-term rental properties shall maintain an up to date phone number as well as a current address on file with the City. The agent shall be available 24-hours a day at the listed phone number during all times that the dwelling unit is being rented to respond immediately to complaints or issues relating to the dwelling unit.
Shoreview Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-31 requires property owners who live outside the seven-county metro area to designate a local agent who resides within that area. This agent serves as the responsible point of contact for maintenance, notices of violation, compliance orders, and legal process. For short-term rental properties specifically, the agent must keep a current phone number and address on file with the City and must be reachable around the clock whenever the unit is occupied by a renter.

Under Shoreview Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-31, out-of-metro owners generally ensure their designated local agent's contact information is accurate and current with the City at all times. Compliant operators notify the city manager in writing within five business days whenever the agent changes. For short-term rental properties, operators typically confirm that the listed agent maintains a 24-hour-accessible phone number and a current address on file so that tenant complaints or issues can be addressed immediately during any rental period.

Shoreview Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-31 establishes that renters in properties owned by out-of-metro landlords have a right to a locally accessible agent who can respond to maintenance concerns, violations, and complaints. If a tenant of a short-term rental cannot reach the listed agent during a rental period, that may constitute a failure to comply with this provision. Tenants who believe this requirement is not being met can contact the City of Shoreview directly, document their attempts to reach the agent, or consult a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
