Wayzata, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 815 § 815.21
Administrative License Violation Fee
Operative Text
An owner failing to proceed with an action to terminate the tenancy after Police Department notification in accordance with a crime free/drug free violation or the third disorderly conduct violation shall pay an administrative license violation fee of $750 for each calendar month that the owner fails to proceed. Any outstanding fees must be paid prior to the City renewing a rental license for the licensed premises.
Under Wayzata Code of Ordinances ch. 815 § 815.21, when a property owner has been notified by the Police Department of a qualifying crime-free/drug-free violation or a third disorderly conduct violation, the owner is expected to take steps to terminate the tenancy. If the owner does not proceed with that termination action, a $750 administrative license violation fee accrues for each calendar month of inaction. Any unpaid fees must be cleared before the City will renew the rental license for the affected property.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 815 § 815.21, operators who receive Police Department notification of a crime-free/drug-free or third disorderly conduct violation are generally expected to initiate tenancy-termination proceedings in a timely manner. Failure to act triggers a $750 monthly administrative fee that accumulates until action is taken, and the City will not renew a rental license for the premises while fees remain outstanding. Compliant operators typically document their response steps and timeline following any such Police Department notification to demonstrate that they have proceeded as required.

Wayzata Code of Ordinances ch. 815 § 815.21 creates a financial incentive structure that affects how landlords respond to Police Department notifications about crime-free/drug-free or disorderly conduct violations. Tenants facing eviction proceedings initiated under this framework may want to understand whether the landlord received a proper Police Department notification and whether the termination process follows applicable notice requirements under Minnesota landlord-tenant law. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid resources can help tenants understand what procedural protections may apply when a tenancy termination is pursued in connection with this provision.
