Section 8

[Devang Patel]

I closed on a home a few weeks ago for which the town inspector gave a list of items I needed to fix within the house and some outstanding permit.  All the fixes are done but the permit applications are stuck with the town in a logjam.  I have a great section 8 tenant who is ready to sign the lease and move in on November 1st.  Both our background checks passed section 8 criteria.  The only remaining item is the town inspection.  I currently have just the Conditional C/O for the home.  The town inspector is telling me tenants can live in the home with outstanding permits.  However, would section 8 be OK with this?  And would they be OK with a tenant living in the home prior to final C/O being provided if just the permits are outstanding and all work has been completed?
