Under § 33-195, property owners in Highland should be aware that the landlord registration article applies to a wide range of rental arrangements, including partial rentals of a dwelling and mobile homes, as long as the property sits within city limits. Compliant operators generally assess each property they own to determine whether it meets this broad definition before concluding whether registration obligations apply. Only hotels and motels fall outside the scope of this definition.
