Requires the issuance of certificates of occupancy for rental property damaged by fire
This bill requires landlords to obtain a fire damage safety certificate before renting out properties that have suffered fire damage exceeding $1,000. Landlords must get this document from local authorities or an independent inspector only after the fire, confirming the unit is habitable and meets building codes. The law also mandates that landlords provide a copy of this certificate to tenants before signing a lease and declares any agreements trying to bypass these rules as invalid.
