Lead Cert & Rental Registration: Has anyone been able to rent out prior to obtaining?

[Veronica Morss]

I just finished rehab on my first Cleveland property and we're waiting on the lead certificate to come back which I'm told 30-60 days. I have a rental agent in charge already established and started the rental registration, but am I really needing to wait up to 2 months to get a tenant in there? Has anyone also finished a project since the new rules came to place but placed a tenant meanwhile before they had these?

Thanks!
