So I'm looking at a small 2br house withh a "long term tennanct"  but the seller states that the owner will be responsible for the Certificate of Occupancy and all certifications. 

and might have enough legal assistance to get herself an advantage.I'm nervous, as in PA she can get every dime she ever paid in rent back if the owner never got the Rent Suitability Certificate.

After months of repeated calls, messages, and emails, I was finally able to get someone helpful to assist me with information and forms including a FCE (Final Certificate of Eligibility).Part of the requirements (see STEP 3 in the below image) is that each residential unit must be registered as rent stabilized with the NYS Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR).

If you don't have the mold remediation done by a professional contractor who provides some type of receipt or certificate for their services, it can bite you when you want to sell the house. 

It might also be because with tax deed purchase you don't get a clear title - you either have to go through quiet title action or through title certificate companies that just help you to obtain title insurance.

I was shown a "standard" contract of sale, that contains a clause stating that the seller would not be required to provide a Certificate of Occupancy (CoO) if the property is a single family or a multiple family unit.

So several years back I started a self-directed IRA to buy Property Tax Certificates.

Mark H. while you are incorrect about spending time for not paying debts I know many college grads who are stuck paying huge college loans with professional teaching certifications and no job.

Go to the collector's office to redeem your certificate, they will let you know what you need to do.

Is that certification recent?
