Hesperia, Cal., Code of Ordinances ch. 5.72 § 5.72.180
Conflicts
Operative Text
If the provisions, requirements, or regulations of this chapter conflict with or contravene any other provision, requirement, or regulation of the code, the provisions, requirements, or regulations of this chapter shall prevail as to all matters and questions arising out of the subject matter of this chapter.
Section 5.72.180 of the Hesperia Code of Ordinances establishes that Chapter 5.72 functions as the controlling authority whenever its rules clash with any other part of the municipal code on the same subject matter. In other words, if a conflict arises between this chapter's rent-related requirements and another local ordinance, Chapter 5.72 wins. This is a standard 'supremacy' or 'conflict' clause that determines which set of rules governs when two provisions point in different directions.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Hesperia's rent regulations should be aware that, per § 5.72.180, Chapter 5.72 takes precedence over other conflicting provisions in the Hesperia municipal code on matters covered by this chapter. Compliant operators generally review all applicable local code sections and, where a conflict is identified, treat Chapter 5.72 as the governing standard. Consulting a qualified professional familiar with Hesperia's code can help clarify how this hierarchy applies to specific operational questions.

Under § 5.72.180, tenants have the benefit of knowing that Chapter 5.72's protections are not easily overridden by other, potentially less protective, sections of the Hesperia municipal code. If a landlord cites a conflicting provision of the code to justify an action, this conflict clause may be relevant to how the matter is resolved. Tenants who believe their rights under Chapter 5.72 are being undermined by a conflicting code provision may wish to contact a local tenant-rights organization or seek guidance from a housing attorney to understand their options.
