Shoreview, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-32
Closure
Operative Text
(a) Any dwelling or dwelling unit that has ceased operations as a rental shall close their rental license by way of a signed affidavit, completed by the owner, and kept on file with the City of Shoreview. (b) The owner of any dwelling or dwelling unit that has a valid certificate and ceases operations as a rental shall file an affidavit of non-rental with the city within fifteen (15) days of the sale, vacancy, or change in occupancy. Owners will not need to file an affidavit of non-rental upon change of occupancy to those who are not the owner. (c) Any owner of a dwelling or dwelling unit that has such an affidavit filed shall receive a new license prior to occupancy by someone who is not the owner. (d) Any property that has such an affidavit filed that is found to be occupied by any person other than the owner shall be in violation of this chapter and subject to the penalties herein.
Shoreview Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-32 establishes a formal closure process for rental properties that stop operating as rentals. When a rental ceases operations due to a sale, vacancy, or change in occupancy, the owner must file a signed affidavit of non-rental with the City of Shoreview within 15 days. If the property is later occupied by someone other than the owner while that affidavit is on file, the property is considered in violation of the chapter and subject to its penalties. Before any non-owner occupant moves in again, a new rental license must be obtained.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Shoreview Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-32, operators who transition a rental property out of rental use generally complete and file a signed affidavit of non-rental with the City of Shoreview within 15 days of the triggering event—whether that is a sale, vacancy, or qualifying change in occupancy. Compliant operators keep this affidavit on file with the city and obtain a new rental license before allowing any non-owner occupant to move in. Allowing a non-owner to occupy the property while an affidavit is on file without first securing a new license places the property in violation of this chapter.

Shoreview Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-32 is relevant to tenants because it requires a property owner to obtain a new rental license before a non-owner occupant can lawfully move into a property that had an affidavit of non-rental on file. If a tenant believes they are occupying a unit that lacks the required license under this provision, they may raise that status as a concern with the City of Shoreview or consult a tenant-rights organization to understand available options. Documenting the timeline of occupancy and any communications with the owner can be useful when exploring whether a violation under this chapter has occurred.
