The short answer
Coverage depends on the exact jurisdiction, property characteristics, tenancy and applicable exemptions. Check state and local rules separately; a statewide exemption does not necessarily answer every local question.

Gather the coverage facts
Record address, building age, unit type, ownership and relevant occupancy history. Verify any exemption conditions and required disclosures rather than relying on the label single-family or small landlord.
Review related protections
Rent caps, notice periods and termination protections can have different coverage rules. Confirm all applicable requirements before changing rent or ending a tenancy.
Example: exemption with conditions
A property may qualify for an exemption only if required conditions and notices are satisfied. Verify those facts and documentation before calculating an increase under an assumed exemption.
