White Bear Township Code of Ordinances ch. 6, art. VII § 6-246 establishes the conditions that must be met before a rental license can be issued or renewed. A rental property must comply with local article requirements and state law, the owner must have paid all required fees and fines owed to the township, the number of units cannot exceed permitted limits, and no unit may be over-occupied or illegally occupied. Failure to satisfy any of these conditions gives the township grounds to deny, not renew, suspend, or revoke a rental license.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 6-246, compliant rental property operators generally ensure that all license fees are paid on time, that the number of dwelling units on the property does not exceed what is permitted, and that no unit is over-occupied or illegally occupied. Operators also resolve any outstanding fines or fees owed to White Bear Township related to the property before seeking issuance or renewal. Unresolved deficiencies in any of these areas can serve as grounds for license denial, suspension, or revocation.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 6-246 of the White Bear Township Code of Ordinances requires that rental dwellings meet occupancy, unit-count, and fee-compliance standards as a condition of licensure. Tenants who believe their unit is illegally occupied, over-occupied, or that the property is operating without a valid license may have grounds to raise these issues with White Bear Township's licensing or code enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Minnesota housing law can help residents understand what options may be available when a landlord appears to be out of compliance with local licensing requirements.
