Eagan's rental ordinance makes owners responsible for nuisances and noise at their rentals. Six or more nuisance service calls in 365 days is a license violation (Sec. 6.55, Subd. 15.D.2, referencing Sec. 10.44). There is no STR-specific noise rule because the city does not license STRs.
Noise at rentals is handled through the ordinance's nuisance and conduct provisions, not a standalone STR noise limit. The purpose clause (Subd. 1) states owners and managers must take reasonable steps so residents and neighbors can enjoy surroundings "free from noise, nuisances and annoyances." Subd. 15.D.2 makes the licensee "required to manage and control the activity occurring in a rental dwelling unit" and responsible for the city's response to repeat nuisance service calls under Section 10.44 of the code; it expressly states it is a license violation "if the city responds to a nuisance service call at the licensed premises on 6 or more occasions within a period of 365 days." Subd. 15.D.3 further requires the licensee to "take overt steps to abate the nuisance(s)" when tenants violate the crime-free lease addendum or otherwise create a nuisance. Beyond Section 6.55, Eagan enforces its general nuisance and noise provisions citywide (Chapter 10). Because Eagan does not license short-term rentals, these residential nuisance/noise standards are what apply; there is no separate quiet-hours rule written specifically for transient guests. Owners should note that nuisance calls are cumulative and can jeopardize a license even if no single incident is severe.
Six or more nuisance service calls within 365 days at a licensed rental is a defined license violation (Subd. 15.D.2, Sec. 10.44). Failure to abate tenant-created nuisances (Subd. 15.D.3) is also a violation, subject to civil penalties and potential license suspension or revocation; repeat nuisance calls may also carry city cost-recovery fees.
