Your inspection cycle depends on your record
Minneapolis tiers rental licences from 1 to 3 using code violations found at the property over the previous two years. Tier 1 is an eight-year inspection cycle for well-maintained properties, Tier 2 a five-year cycle where there are a few documented issues, and Tier 3 a one-year cycle where several issues are documented and more than one is likely to affect renter health and safety urgently. A higher tier means both more frequent inspections and a higher fee, so the repair history you keep is not merely a record, it sets the cost.
