§ 152.08 LICENSE REQUIRED.
   It is unlawful to operate a rental dwelling in the city without first having obtained a license from the city. An owner must obtain a license for each rental dwelling. If the rental dwelling contains two or more units, and has a common owner and a common property identification number, the owner may obtain a single license for the rental dwelling.

§ 152.09 LICENSE APPLICATION.
   (A)   The owner of a rental dwelling must submit an application for a license on forms and in the format provided by the city. The owner must give notice, in writing, to the city within five business days of any changes to the information contained in the license application. The application must include:
      (1)   The owner’s name, address, and telephone number, owning partners if a partnership, corporate officers if a corporation;
      (2)   The name and address of a person residing or having a business office in Hennepin or Ramsey County, and appointed by the owner as an agent for purposes of notices under this chapter and for services of process upon the owner;
      (3)   The name and address of any managing operator or agent;
      (4)   The name and address of the contract for deed vendor if the rental dwelling is owned under a contract for deed;
      (5)   The legal address of the rental dwelling;
      (6)   The type and number of units within the rental dwelling;

   (B)   Upon approval by the City Council, the City Clerk will issue a license to the owner of the rental dwelling. A license is personal to the owner of a specified rental dwelling. No license may be transferred to a purchaser of a multiple dwelling or to any other person or entity. If a rental dwelling is sold, the purchaser may not own or operate the rental dwelling without first obtaining the license provided for in this chapter. A license will be valid for one year. If a license is issued during the year, the license will be prorated accordingly at the renewal time.

Applications for renewal license submitted after the license term expiration are subject to a penalty fee, which shall be determined from the time by the City Council.
