Is this a problem

[Clayton Ballard]

Soooo, I had a house visit yesterday and noticed something weird. I went into the basement and the owner had the oil tank enclosed behind a sliding door. The home is no longer heat by oil. It's been updated to natural gas but the tank remains. I'm sure to remove the tank is probably going to cost a lot due to the of tank and where it needs to be deposed. Can this tank remain in the home without use, if rented to section 8? I don't want to make an offer if removing the tank will cost too much. Thanks in advance CB

Call a heating company and see if they will buy the tank from you or come and remove it for free. They may be able to rehab and sell it to someone that still uses oil heat.
