CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY (CO):
A municipality may require by ordinance that a landlord cannot rent a unit unless the landlord first obtains a certificate of occupancy (also known as a “C.O.”) from the municipality.
Check with the local Health or Building Department.  A certificate of occupancy is a procedure to ensure that rental units meet code standards before they are rented. Failure by a landlord to obtain a certificate of occupancy can be used to show that the conditions in the apartment are poor and that this violates the landlord’s duty to provide habitable housing. (In theory). So landlords - protect yourself!
