(Ord. 4-2018, passed 3-28-2018)
A rental unit registration shall be for up to a three year period. An initial registration shall commence on the date of registration and end on December 31 of the third year. Rental registration renewals shall commence on January 1 of the first year of the renewal and end on December 31 of the third year. The city will mail application forms for registration renewal to registered rental unit owners or to their designated local property managers on or before October 1 of the last year of the registration term. Completed applications for registration renewals must be delivered to the city no later than November 15. Failure of the city to mail registration renewal application forms or failure of an owner or local property manager to receive a registration renewal application form does not excuse or waive the registration required by this subchapter.
(Ord. 2-2018, passed 2-20-2018)
Every new owner of a rental unit, whether fee owner or contract purchaser, shall furnish to the City Administrator the new owner's name, address, phone number and fax number and the name, address, phone number and fax number of the new owner's designated local property manager within 60 days of taking possession of the rental property upon closing of the transaction. No new registration fee is be required of the new owner during the year in which such possession takes place, provided that the previous owner has paid all registration fees and has complied with all requirements of this subchapter and any violations of health, zoning, fire or safety codes of the city. If any change in the type of occupancy as originally registered is contemplated by the new owner, a new registration application will be required.
Each rental unit registration holder must post the rental unit registration in a conspicuous spot near the front entry to the rental unit in a public corridor, hallway or lobby if the rental unit is in a multi unit building. In the event a rental unit is a single family home, or is three units or less, delivery of a copy of the rental unit registration in person or by mail to the tenant is required. Failure to post or deliver the registration and keep the registration posted, if required, is a petty misdemeanor, but is not grounds for termination of registration.
Every rental unit must be maintained in compliance with the Building Code, dwelling maintenance standards, nuisance ordinance and noise ordinance of the city as set forth in Mahnomen City Ordinances, respectively as now in force and hereafter amended, revised or replaced, and in compliance with all other standards, ordinances, laws and regulations governing use, occupancy, construction and maintenance of property and conduct of persons in or on that property.
