Waiting period

Before reapplying for any new rental licenses, you must wait:

• Three years if you had one rental license revoked
• Five years if you had two or more rental licenses revoked

Requirements and fees

Once the waiting period is over, or if there's a new property owner, they must meet these requirements:

• Attend an approved rental property management course within one year of reapplication
• Complete a rental property management plan
• The property must:
  • Have no unpaid administrative citations or special assessments
  • Have current property taxes
  • Pass a rental license inspection or have a recent certificate of code compliance

Reinstatement fees

• $3,000 if the person applying for reinstatement had an interest in the rental license when it was revoked
• $1,000 for a new owner

Council approval

Once you meet these conditions, the Minneapolis City Council will consider your application. If approved, Finance and Commerce will publish the reinstatement. Then, you can submit your rental license application and fees.

There cannot be renters at the property until we issue the rental license.
