For Property Managers

Under Long Lake Code of Ordinances ch. 8, art. VII § 8-281, property owners and rental managers should be aware that the article's obligations apply to any 'residential rental property' as defined—broadly, any building or portion thereof occupied or intended for residential use by a paying tenant. A 'rental manager' is specifically defined as someone delegated day-to-day control who can respond in person to property issues, meaning that designation carries real operational expectations. Operators who understand these definitions are better positioned to determine whether their properties and roles fall within the article's scope.

For Tenants

Long Lake Code of Ordinances ch. 8, art. VII § 8-281 defines who qualifies as a 'residential tenant' under this article—generally, anyone who occupies a dwelling for residential purposes in exchange for payment, under a written or verbal lease or contract, without owning the property. This definition helps tenants understand whether the protections and requirements established elsewhere in the article apply to their living situation. Tenants who believe they meet this definition and have concerns about compliance with the article's broader requirements may wish to contact Long Lake's local government offices or a tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
