Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Michigan

What do I need to start a rental property

I have a question about starting a rental property. I have had my house for sale for over a year now, with no muhc luck. I was thinking of turning into a rental property. My question is, how would I do this? Is there something I need to do with the city I live in? I don't need help finding occupants, but I need to know what legal requirements need to be filed for this to be done. Please help!

Re: What do I need to start a rental property

To do this properly and legally, you need to check with the local government(city, township, etc.) and find out if a permit/license is needed. An inspection may be necessary. Some jurisdictions require a Certificate of Occupancy. For more info., please contact my office at the number listed on the lawguru website.
