Cal. Civ. Code § 5
The terms "lessor," "lessee" and "person" as used herein shall include the plural thereof and shall include corporations
Operative Text
The terms "lessor," "lessee" and "person" as used herein shall include the plural thereof and shall include corporations.
Illinois statute 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 730 establishes that the defined terms 'lessor,' 'lessee,' and 'person' are not limited to single individuals. Under this provision, those terms apply equally to multiple parties acting together and to corporate entities, ensuring that the statute's rules cover a broad range of landlord and tenant arrangements regardless of how the parties are legally organized.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 730, property owners who operate as corporations, partnerships, or other multi-party entities are subject to the same obligations as individual lessors. Compliant operators recognize that their corporate or organizational structure does not exempt them from the statute's requirements, and they apply the statute's rules as fully as any individual landlord would.

Section 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 730 means that tenants dealing with a corporate landlord or a group of co-lessors are entitled to the same protections as those renting from a single individual. Tenants who believe a corporate or multi-party lessor has not complied with the statute's requirements can explore options such as raising the issue with a local tenant-rights organization or consulting available public resources to understand how the statute applies to their situation.
