Waiting period

If a person has had a single rental license revoked, they must wait three years before applying for any new rental licenses.

If a person has had two or more rental licenses revoked, they must wait five years before reapplying for rental licenses.

Requirements & fees

Once this period has passed, or if there's a new owner of the property, they must meet these requirements:

• Attendance at an approved rental property management course within one year of reapplication
• Completion of a Rental Property Management Plan
• The property must have no unpaid administrative citations or special assessments
• The property's taxes must be current
• The property must pass a rental license inspection or have a recent certificate of code compliance
• If the person applying for reinstatement had an interest in the rental license when it was revoked, there's a $3000.00 reinstatement fee. If there's a new owner, there's a $1000.00 reinstatement fee.

Council approval

Once the applicant meets these conditions, the Minneapolis City Council will consider the reinstatement. If approved by the City Council, Finance & Commerce will publish the reinstatement. After Finance & Commerce publishes the reinstatement, the applicant must submit a rental license application and fees.

There can't be renters at the property until the rental license has been issued.
