Rental Inspection Requests

New rental properties are inspected when you apply for a Rental Housing Certificate. This is an automatic 2-year inspection interval result. After that initial two years, routine inspections are also required.

The inspection frequency depends on a property’s score, based on the violations and will result in one of the following:

• Every 4 years
• Every 3 years
• Every 2 years
• Every year

Routine inspections can be scheduled any time after your renewal letter is sent. To stay in compliance, we highly recommend you complete the routine inspection before the rental 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.
