Plain English

Plymouth City Code § 410 § 410.05 establishes the foundational definitions that govern the entire rental dwelling ordinance (Section 410.00 et seq.). Under this provision, a 'rental dwelling' covers any property with one or more living units where compensation is charged for occupancy, but explicitly excludes hotels, motels, hospitals, and homes for the aged. The term 'operate' is defined broadly to include any form of compensation—not just traditional rent—exchanged for the use of a unit.

For Property Managers

Property owners and managers subject to Plymouth City Code § 410 § 410.05 should be aware that the ordinance's requirements apply to virtually any residential rental arrangement where compensation of any kind is collected, including non-traditional payment structures. Operators of hotels, motels, hospitals, or homes for the aged fall outside the scope of this definition and are not covered by Section 410.00 et seq. Compliant operators generally ensure they understand which of their properties meet the 'rental dwelling' definition so they can apply the ordinance's requirements appropriately across their portfolio.

For Tenants

Plymouth City Code § 410 § 410.05 defines who is protected under the rental dwelling ordinance—if a tenant pays any form of compensation to occupy a living unit, that arrangement generally falls within the ordinance's scope. Tenants in hotels, motels, hospitals, or homes for the aged are not covered by Section 410.00 et seq. under this definition. Tenants who are uncertain whether their housing arrangement qualifies may find it helpful to review the full ordinance or consult a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
