White Bear Township, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 6, art. VII § 6-248
License not transferable; notice of ownership transfer required
Operative Text
No rental license shall be transferable to another person or to another rental dwelling. Every person holding a rental license shall give notice in writing to the code enforcement officer within 72 hours after having legally transferred or otherwise disposed of the legal control of any licensed rental dwelling. Such notice shall include the name and address of the person succeeding to the ownership or control of such rental dwelling.
Under White Bear Township Code of Ordinances ch. 6, art. VII § 6-248, a rental license is tied to a specific person and a specific property — it cannot be handed off to a new owner or applied to a different dwelling. When ownership or legal control of a licensed rental property changes hands, the outgoing license holder must notify the code enforcement officer in writing within 72 hours of that transfer. That written notice must identify the name and address of whoever is taking over ownership or control of the property.

Operators subject to White Bear Township Code of Ordinances ch. 6, art. VII § 6-248 generally ensure that any sale, transfer, or other disposition of a licensed rental dwelling is promptly followed by written notification to the code enforcement officer — within 72 hours of the transaction. Compliant operators include the successor's full name and address in that notice, and they understand that the existing license does not carry over to the new owner or to any other property. The incoming owner or operator typically initiates their own separate licensing process rather than assuming the prior license remains valid.

White Bear Township Code of Ordinances ch. 6, art. VII § 6-248 establishes that a rental license cannot simply transfer to a new landlord when a property changes hands, which means tenants may want to be aware of whether a new owner has obtained their own valid license after acquiring the property. If a rental dwelling appears to be operating without a current license following an ownership change, tenants can contact the White Bear Township code enforcement office to inquire about the property's licensing status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local ordinances can help residents understand what options may be available when a property's licensing compliance is in question.
