Emergency Ordinance
Residential
On February 17, 2026, the Brooklyn Park City Council approved an emergency ordinance which requires property managers and landlords to provide a pre-eviction notice to a tenant 30 days prior to initiating eviction action for non-payment of rent or other financial obligations as laid out in the lease. The emergency ordinance is active until March 19, 2026, however, the City Council may extend the emergency ordinance.
The emergency ordinance can be found here >
The emergency ordinance was adopted to provide temporary protections for renters affected by federal immigration enforcement efforts.
If renters are behind on rent or other financial obligations the emergency ordinance requires a pre-eviction notice to renters at least 30 days before the landlord can bring an eviction action.
State law requires a pre-eviction notice for residents 14-days before filing an eviction which will remain effective when the emergency ordinance expires: Minn. Stat. § 504B.321 (2024).
Pre-eviction notices must be provided to any renter. All landlords and property management groups must provide a 30-day pre-eviction notice.
The current emergency ordinance is active February 17 – March 19, 2026 (30 days). Emergency ordinances may be extended by City Council.
The property management team or landlord shall deliver the pre-eviction notice to the renter personally or by first-class mail.

Rental licenses
A rental license is required for any single-family dwelling that is not owner-occupied. However, you do not need a license if you are renting to an immediate family member (son, daughter, parents, etc.) and provided they apply for and are granted a relative homestead exemption. No more than 4 unrelated people may live in the home.
The property owner is responsible for meeting all City rules. Brooklyn Park has one of the most thorough rental licensing programs in the state. We strive to ensure licensed rental properties are decent, safe and sanitary.
See business licenses – rental >
Inspections
Rental properties are subject to an annual inspection and completion of the inspection (including repairs, if necessary) is required in order to renew the license prior to its expiration.
A license may be denied, suspended or revoked for residents who engage in the following activities:
- Animal noise
- Noisy parties
- Illegal drugs
- Criminal behavior
- Alcohol sales
- Prostitution
- Weapons
- Assault
- Lack of safety towards minors
Crime-free housing seminar
This day-long training is geared for rental property owners and managers and is designed to reduce the incidents of crime as well as create and maintain safe desirable rental housing for community members.
The latest and best business practices related to operating rental properties are discussed as well as the Brooklyn Park rental property ordinance.
The mandatory one day Crime-free Housing Training class must be attended by the rental license holder or designated operator within 1 year of obtaining a rental license. Noncompliance can lead to an administrative fine.
Please note that if a rental property owner or property manager has already completed the training in the past, they can send in a copy of the training certificate to the Rental Licensing Division and will not need to attend again.
