§ 1691 Definition Of Terms

• •All the word definitions in this article apply to every rule in this part.
• •The definitions tell courts and people exactly how to read the other sections.
• •These definitions have been in effect since January 1, 1993.

A landlord and tenant argue about what "premises" means in a rental rule.

They have to look at the definitions set out in this article to decide what the word really means, because the law says the definitions control how the rest of the part is understood.
