Landlord rental license

[Marshall Secord]

Hi BP I just listed my first rental property for rent on zillow after buying it and doing some renovations. I thought it was easy as that, but I just came across something about needing to apply for a renal license or else pay $300/ day if I'm fined. Can somebody tell me if this is really something to worry about? I'm sure technically its a city requirement, but there seem to be a lot of permitting and code requirements out there that nobody actually pays real attention to.

No reason not to play by the rules as a good landlord. Its $63 per year. If you do not have the required paperwork you will not be able to legally collect rent/evict a tenant/etc. Youll need to have a lead cert as well if you havnt already done that along with a bed bug control plan/other paper work
