Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 113.111, compliant rental property operators ensure that no inoperative or unlicensed vehicles are left on the premises and that any vehicle in a state of major disrepair or being dismantled is kept entirely within a fully enclosed garage or approved outbuilding. Operators also confirm that any vehicle painting done on the property takes place only inside an approved spray booth. Routine property inspections can help identify and address any tenant or occupant activity that may run afoul of these requirements before a violation is issued.

Section § 113.111 sets rules about what kinds of vehicles and vehicle-related activities are permitted on rental property, which can affect how tenants use outdoor spaces and garages. If a landlord cites this provision to restrict a tenant's vehicle storage or repair activities, tenants may want to review whether the landlord's interpretation aligns with what the rule actually covers. Tenants who believe they are being treated unfairly in connection with this provision can consult a local tenant-rights organization or seek general guidance from the City of Dayton's code enforcement office.
