University Park — Part XIV Title Six Housing § 1462-01
Application of chapter
Operative Text
This chapter shall apply to all dwelling units in existence at the time of its adoption (Ordinance 497, passed July 14, 1981) as well as to all subsequently constructed dwelling units. (Ord. 497. Passed 7-14-81.)
Section 1462-01 of University Park's Part XIV Title Six Housing establishes the scope of the rent regulation chapter, making it applicable to every dwelling unit that existed when Ordinance 497 was enacted on July 14, 1981, as well as any dwelling unit built after that date. In other words, the chapter's coverage is broad and not limited to older housing stock — new construction is brought within its reach as well. This provision sets the foundational boundary for which properties the rest of the chapter governs.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 1462-01, property owners and managers in University Park should be aware that the obligations and requirements found throughout this housing chapter apply regardless of when a dwelling unit was constructed. Whether a rental property predates Ordinance 497 (passed July 14, 1981) or was built decades later, it falls within the chapter's scope. Compliant operators generally confirm which specific provisions apply to each unit in their portfolio by reviewing the full chapter in light of this broad applicability rule.

Section 1462-01 establishes that tenants living in any dwelling unit in University Park — whether the building is decades old or newly constructed — are covered by the protections and rules set out in this housing chapter. Because the chapter's reach extends to all units in existence as of July 14, 1981, and all units built since, tenants are not excluded simply because they live in newer housing. Tenants who want to understand how this coverage affects their specific rights may find it useful to review the remaining provisions of the chapter or consult a local tenant-rights organization.
