   As used herein the terms “dwelling unit” and “apartment hotel” shall be defined as those terms are defined in Section 12.03 of this Code.
 
   Any person managing controlling, leasing or renting any previously occupied dwelling unit, other than a dwelling unit in an apartment hotel which is customarily occupied for a period of 15 days or less, shall, at the time any lease or rental of such dwelling unit is entered into, notify the lessee that any lock on the leased or rented premises will be changed upon written request therefor.
