Rental Unit Permit in Lowell MA

[Vysakh Sivarajan]

Hello BP members,

I bought a condo unit in Lowell MA few months back and got a tenant coming in next week. Going through the Lowell MA website (https://www.lowellma.gov/625/Health-Permits) , I saw a rental permit ordinance. Does anyone know about this requirement ? The unit is not a new construction. If I need the permit, will that prevent the tenants from moving in next week ?
