I HAVE looked it up for myself, spending NUMEROUS hours on it, and canNOT find any case law or reference to this, which is why, if Sara is going to put something out there, she should be able to back it up with facts and references.
Where is the case law that says "occupants" don't mean people who live in a rental house or apartment???????

Maybe you don't know where to look! It's easily located just where Sara gave the information from. All you have to do is read through all of the code to find what applies to you. If you do not understand, well that's a problem no one can help you with. The usage of the word 'Occupant' does not always refer to a 'tenant' as you seem to believe, but can refer to one such as a corporation or business who utilizes the "Property". The law is clear, if you are required to have fire extinguishers, then you must maintain and service them.

Apparently the law does not mandate a sfh rental to have a fire extinguishe, but CA does mandate smoke alarms and CO detectors.
No one has been able to cite CA state law that expands or limits the definition of "occupants."
So that being said, the responsibility rests on the tenants if they signed the rental agreement accepting responsibility for servicing/maintaining the fire extinguisher provided for them by the LL.
Here's some extra info that is from the office of the state fire marshall, dated 2005, but NOTHING AT THIS SITE addresses case law where "occupants" exclude the actual tenants as occupants: http://www.glendale.edu/fire/Documents/ClassMaterials/Fire_Extinguishers/CSFM%20Fire%20Extinguisher%20Study%20Guide.pdf
