Rental Inspection Requests

New rental properties are inspected when you apply for a Rental Housing Certificate. After that, routine inspections are required.

The inspection frequency depends on a property’s score, based on past violations:

  • Every 3 years
  • Every 2 years
  • Every year

Routine inspections can be scheduled anytime, especially before your Certificate expires.

Request an inspection by submitting an Inspection Request form or calling (507)328-2600 during office hours.

Note: only the property owner or manager may escort the Housing Inspector through the rental property.
