Westlake Village, Cal., Code of Ordinances ch. 6.7 § 6.7.070
Prospective Tenants
Operative Text
The provisions of this Chapter contained in Sections 6.7.030 , 6.7.040 , 6.7.050 , and 6.7.060 are applicable only to those tenants whose tenancy has commenced prior to the effective date of this chapter and are not applicable to prospective tenants. All prospective tenants must be informed in writing by the owner prior to signing of a rental agreement or prior to occupancy, whichever occurs first, that the unit to be rented is a condominium and is not regulated by this chapter.
Westlake Village Code of Ordinances ch. 6.7 § 6.7.070 draws a clear line between existing and future tenants: the rent-related protections established in Sections 6.7.030 through 6.7.060 apply only to tenants whose tenancies began before the chapter's effective date. Anyone who becomes a tenant after that date is not covered by those protections. Additionally, owners are required to notify prospective tenants in writing—before a lease is signed or occupancy begins, whichever comes first—that the unit is a condominium and falls outside the chapter's regulatory scope.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 6.7.070, property owners renting condominium units must provide a written disclosure to any prospective tenant before a rental agreement is signed or before the tenant moves in, whichever happens first. This disclosure must state that the unit is a condominium and is not regulated by the chapter. Compliant operators typically document this disclosure and retain a copy to demonstrate it was delivered at the appropriate time.

Section 6.7.070 establishes that the rent-related protections in this chapter do not extend to tenancies that began on or after the chapter's effective date. If you are a prospective tenant, you are entitled to receive a written notice before signing a lease or taking occupancy confirming that the unit is a condominium outside the chapter's coverage. Tenants who believe this written disclosure was not provided may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or review the ordinance to understand what remedies or avenues may be available.
