premises program by any participant, inclusive of city staff and rental dwelling license
holders, shall conform with all applicable law, specifically including the provisions
of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 504B, Landlord and Tenant and Section 504B.205, Residential
Tenant's Right to Seek Police and Emergency Assistance. No adverse action shall be
taken pursuant to this section against a licensee for an instance of conduct in which
police or other emergency services respond to a report of domestic violence, domestic
abuse, a health-related emergency, or any other similar tenant assistance response.
