SFH Rental Question

[Dina Morgan]

I currently have a house that I would like to Rent.

I need to rent my house out, but will not have the money right away to get it up to code. So ideally I need someone that can move in and allow me a few months to get the money to get it up to code. There is not anything majorly wrong with it, it just hasn't been inspected since 1955. Is it ok for me to rent it with out getting a new occupancy permit on it?

I would not advise renting a property with any code violations. There is too much liability in it. I once got sued because a man tripped over his own feet - literally. I had it on camera. He still took us to court.

I would not rent anything until it was "rent ready", you will be safer and the tenant will be happier.
