Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need to file the Statement (Rental Property Registration Form) for a property even if it is a one-family home?
Yes, if you are the owner of a home that you rent, whether you rent one unit or more, whether you live there or not, you must complete the statement and return it to the township.
- Is an inspection required at this time?
An inspection is required prior to a new tenant moving in. You do not need an inspection if tenants already occupy the unit; however you are required to complete and submit the Rental Property Registration Form.
