As conditions of the license, the licensee must do the following:
A. Tenant Register: Maintain a current register of tenants and other persons who have a lawful right to occupancy of rental dwellings or rental dwelling units, which must be available for inspection by City officials upon request. The licensee must designate the name of the person or persons who will have possession of the register and must promptly notify the City Administrator of any change in the identity, address, or telephone numbers of such person. For purposes of this Section, “current” means that the register is updated every thirty (30) days.
B. Fire Certification: Execute a statement that the smoke detectors are properly installed and operable and that the fire exits are accessible.
C. Tenant Screening Certification: Execute a statement that the licensee has a screening process the licensee uses during the approval process of each tenant to attempt to ensure quality tenants occupy the rental dwelling.
D. Minnesota Crime-Free Lease Addendum: Use the Minnesota Crime-Free Lease Addendum, or its equivalent, as part of its leases.
E. Display of License Certificate: For multi-family, the license certificate must be exhibited in a conspicuous place at or near the entrance to the rental dwelling. One (1) license certificate must be displayed for each building. If practical, the certificate must be displayed in the rental office or other common area accessible to all tenants of the licensed building. For single-family homes and duplexes, a copy of the license certificate must be provided to the tenants.
F. Lodging and Sale Taxes: In addition to state sales taxes, short term home rentals are required to pay the City lodging tax pursuant to City Code Section 1-5-5 directly to the City on a quarterly basis. The property owner must provide information on a web-based booking service(s) used for the property. If no sales are made during a quarter, a report must be submitted to the City stating that no sales were made or lodging tax collected during that quarter.
