Item 08A <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />Mr. Halvorson has claimed that some tenants are not paying rent, have threatened him, and <br />denied him access to make repairs. It is Staff's opinion that Mr. Halvorson does not have <br />control of the properties, and that it is in the best interests of the City and the public to revoke <br />the Rental Licenses and that he be prohibited from obtaining a Rental License in Mounds View. <br />It has been a rare occurrence that the City has revoked a Rental License. This last occurred in <br />2021 (2075, 2081 Hillview Road)' and in 2019 (5067 Irondale Road)' due to numerous code <br />violations and failure to comply with correction orders. <br />Analysis: <br />Rental properties must meet minimum standards. Failure to comply shall be adequate grounds <br />for denial, refusal to renew, revocation, or suspension.'
