Expands the definition of "landlord" to include rooming and boarding house owners and operators under certain municipal ordinances.

This bill amends the definition of "landlord" to include owners and operators of rooming and boarding houses. This change allows municipalities to adopt ordinances that enforce standards of responsible conduct for these properties, aligning them with the standards for smaller, non-professionally managed rental properties of less than four units and mobile home owners. The revision does not affect existing municipal ordinances, requiring separate ordinances for rooming and boarding houses if they are to be subject to these standards.
