[Help] Difference between Landlord 101 and license?

[Kelly Conrad]

Hey!

So I am wanting to make sure I am being proper, but the City of St. Paul's website is not clear on this. I need to make sure I've covered my bases with regards to being licensed, but I'm not sure if the Landlord 101 class is what gets you your Landlord license. Is it just so you can apply for your Fire Certificate of Occupancy? Is that your license? Or is the license NOT included in either of those things? I'm signed up for the January Landlord 101 class, but I have to rent before then, and I heard from another investor (not investing in St Paul, but Coon Rapids), that as long as he was signed up for the class, he can apply for his Landlord license. 

Can someone who is a landlord in St. Paul please help clarify on what I need to get my license? We plan to start renting in November and I need to have something in place by then.

Thank you!!
