El cumplimiento del Código

Maintaining your rental property 

Every year, all rental properties need to have a Certificate of Compliance through our Rental Certification Program.

Are you looking to buy a house or property to rent it out? Already have a property with rental units? You'll need to renew your annual registration or register a new property by completing the form to register a rental or vacant property.
