Under § 8-116, property owners who lease dwelling units within the village—including any accessory units tied to those dwellings—are subject to the requirements of this article. Compliant operators generally confirm whether each of their rental properties falls within Bellevue's village limits, since that geographic boundary determines whether the article's obligations apply. Keeping accurate records of which units are leased as rentals helps ensure nothing is inadvertently overlooked.
