Operative Text
It is prohibited to let or offer for let a residential dwelling unit or portion thereof for a period of time less than 30 days except where permitted in the Zoning Ordinance as a hotel.
Section 18-62 of the St. Paul Park Code of Ordinances prohibits the rental of a residential dwelling unit, or any part of one, for periods shorter than 30 days. The only exception carved out by this rule applies to properties that are permitted under the Zoning Ordinance to operate as a hotel. In effect, platforms and arrangements commonly associated with short-term vacation rentals are barred from residential units in St. Paul Park unless the hotel exception applies.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under St. Paul Park Code ch. 18, art. IV § 18-62, compliant residential property operators do not list or rent out their units—or any portion of a unit—for stays of fewer than 30 consecutive days. Operators who wish to offer shorter-term accommodations generally confirm first whether their property holds the appropriate hotel designation under the local Zoning Ordinance. Maintaining clear lease terms that reflect minimum 30-day tenancies is a common practice for staying within the bounds of this provision.

St. Paul Park Code § 18-62 establishes that residential dwelling units may not lawfully be rented out for less than 30 days, which can be relevant if a tenant believes their landlord is operating an unlawful short-term rental arrangement within a residential building. Tenants who encounter conditions they believe violate this provision may consider contacting the St. Paul Park municipal code enforcement office to report a potential violation. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Minnesota housing law can also help residents understand how this ordinance may relate to their living situation.
