Section 6.6.010 of the Westlake Village Code of Ordinances establishes the foundational vocabulary for the city's mobilehome rent regulation chapter. Key terms such as 'Landlord,' 'Tenant,' 'Mobilehome Park,' 'Mobilehome Space,' 'Rent,' and 'Rental Units' are each given specific meanings that govern how the rest of Chapter 6.6 is interpreted and applied. Notably, 'Rental Units' under this chapter are limited to mobilehome spaces that were subject to Ordinance No. 22 of the City of Westlake Village, and the Consumer Price Index referenced throughout the chapter is specifically the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim Metropolitan Area index.

Under § 6.6.010, a 'Landlord' is broadly defined to include not only the property owner who receives rent but also any authorized agent or representative acting on that owner's behalf in connection with a rental unit. Operators and property managers of mobilehome parks in Westlake Village should be aware that their actions may carry the same legal weight as those of the property owner under this chapter. Familiarity with all defined terms in § 6.6.010 is foundational to understanding compliance obligations throughout Chapter 6.6.

Section 6.6.010 defines 'Tenant' as any person who holds a tenancy—meaning a right or entitlement to use or occupy a rental unit—within the scope of Westlake Village's mobilehome rent regulations. Because 'Rental Units' under this chapter are specifically limited to mobilehome spaces previously covered by Ordinance No. 22, tenants may want to confirm whether their space falls within this definition when evaluating their protections under Chapter 6.6. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Westlake Village's mobilehome regulations can help clarify how these definitions apply in various circumstances.
