Canandaigua, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 748 § 748-3
Exclusions
Operative Text
This chapter shall not apply to mobile homes and mobile home courts, or to transient-type occupancies and uses including, but not limited to, nursing and convalescent homes, hotels, motels, tourist camps, travel trailers, and trailer parks, and other forms of temporary housing.
Section 748-3 of Canandaigua's Code of Ordinances Chapter 748 carves out specific categories of housing from the chapter's coverage. Mobile homes, mobile home courts, and a range of transient or temporary occupancies—such as nursing homes, hotels, motels, tourist camps, travel trailers, and trailer parks—fall outside the chapter's scope. The exclusion is written broadly, so other forms of temporary housing not explicitly listed may also be exempt.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of properties covered by Chapter 748 should be aware that Section 748-3 draws a clear boundary around which housing types the chapter governs. Owners of hotels, motels, mobile home courts, nursing homes, tourist camps, travel trailers, or trailer parks generally operate outside this chapter's requirements. Compliant operators of conventional rental housing confirm that their properties do not fall into any of these excluded categories before relying on the chapter's provisions.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 748-3 defines the limits of Chapter 748's protections, meaning tenants in certain housing types—such as hotels, motels, nursing homes, mobile home courts, or trailer parks—may not be covered by this chapter's rules. Tenants who are uncertain whether their housing qualifies as a transient or temporary occupancy under this exclusion may benefit from reviewing the full text of Chapter 748 or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance. Understanding whether this exclusion applies is an important first step before relying on any rights or remedies the chapter might otherwise provide.
