Why did the City of New Brighton expand the licensing requirement to single family and duplex rental units?

The City already licenses all multifamily buildings in New Brighton.  Expanding the licensing program will ensure that every rental unit in the City must be properly maintained and managed in order to be rented. By doing so, the City hopes to achieve legitimate, safe and healthy living spaces for landlords, tenants, and neighbors.
