Rental Housing Licensing Program
The City of Maplewood adopted an ordinance in 2019 establishing a rental property license program to maintain housing standards and promote public safety and welfare.
A Rental Property license is required of any person or business offering a dwelling for rent, and a license must be approved and issued by the City of Maplewood before tenants move into the unit.
