a new trend is taking place on the licensure of rentals and this has come from so many suits being filed against the owners of these properties which have turned liability onto the county or city now-the number one hot topic gaining leverage onto rentals is the NFPA- national fire protection agency-the cities and counties are really looking into the code increases and the tightening up of accountability that is placed on the owner- for years the building division in most areas were there to do inspections and make sure dwellings were up to code requirements, the new turn is this is being handed over to insurance carriers and they are really sharpening there pencils and going above the code minimums- owners will have to pay for a regulator agent ie.. insurance underwriter to perform the inspections before licensing the dwelling as a rental- getting rid of the home inspector businesses enjoy

In the end, perform the proper due diligence before putting in an offer on a rental property, and contact an insurance agent to determine the specific costs and needs.
