Yeah, it's a matter of power dynamics and enforcement rather than the letter of the law.
Renters are low class and have very little political power.
Fortunately for us, food truck operators in that city are also low class and also have very little political power.
Asserting our rights against a neighbor or landlord as renters was difficult. But asserting our rights as a residential citizen against a food truck operator was much easier (or, at least, the neighbor perceived that this would be the case and acquiesced).
