Tenants planning to move out can ask their landlord to inspect the apartment (or rental home or other type of home rental) before the move-out date. The landlord is not allowed to rent the property to a tenant without first obtaining a certificate of occupancy for the property.They just want your money. A New York rental application asks questions about a tenant's personal, residential, and financial background to determine if they meet your screening criteria. Of course you can apply for a rental without seeing it first. And the landlord may even rent it to you, again, without you having seen it. Landlord(s) must complete a Case Information Statement and file it with the court with the complaint. They also provide reliable 24-48 hour inspections to ensure that the lease-up timeline for HCV tenants is closer to that of market rate tenants. We can provide you with guidance on how to fill out forms. We believe life should be enjoyed, not spent sweating the small stuff like rental history check and income verification.
