Operative Text
The provisions of this article: Shall apply to all buildings or portions thereof used, or designed or intended to be rented, leased or let for human habitation. Shall apply to dwellings in existence at the time of adoption of the ordinance from which this section is derived. Shall not apply to nursing homes, motels, hotels or bed and breakfast inns.

Victoria's Rental Housing Code § 103-112 establishes the reach of Article 103-V by defining which properties fall within its rules and which do not. The article covers all buildings—or parts of buildings—used, designed, or intended for human habitation on a rental basis, including dwellings that already existed when the ordinance was adopted. Transient or institutional lodging facilities such as nursing homes, motels, hotels, and bed and breakfast inns are explicitly excluded from the article's requirements.

Property owners and managers who rent residential units in Victoria should be aware that § 103-112 brings virtually all residential rental buildings—including older, pre-ordinance structures—under the scope of Article 103-V. Compliant operators generally confirm whether their properties qualify as residential rental dwellings rather than excluded categories like hotels or nursing homes before determining which code obligations apply. Owners of mixed-use buildings should note that even portions of a building used for residential rental purposes fall within the article's scope.

Tenants renting residential units in Victoria can look to § 103-112 to understand whether their home is covered by Article 103-V's protections, which extend to existing dwellings as well as newer ones. If a landlord claims the property falls outside the article's scope, tenants may want to review the exclusions—limited to nursing homes, motels, hotels, and bed and breakfast inns—to assess whether that claim holds. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Victoria's Rental Housing Code can be a useful resource for understanding how the article's scope applies to a particular type of housing.
