Depending on the state you live in....most people can sell property without a licience.....but I believe theres a limit to the amount of property one can sell without one..
as far as renting...ive never heard of a person needing a lic to rent any...many people rent out their old house, or upstairs, or garage apt with out them. As long as you have some sort of rental agreement with your landlord...you should be covered... |

It depends upon the city or town you live in. Call the city and ask. It's not required in Fort Collins, CO, but there are other cities in the state where it is required. |

It all depends on where you live!!!
Many cities have laws that require a rental license. Although most of them do not require a license.
I have been a Tax Accountant for 18+ years...and, from my experience it is either a city or county that requires the license.
They do this to maintain a certain level of rental quality. Well, and for the money it raises too.
Call your local government and they will be able to tell you. |

Different municipalities have different laws. If you are renting from an individual they may not even know they have to have a license in many cases. If you are renting from a property management company, they will know.
Your local city/municipal government will have the answers for that.
Keep in mind that if you are living in a place that is unlicensed, where licensing is required, you could be signing your own eviction notice. I would ask questions discreetly without naming names. That way you get your answers without endangering your living situation. |

No such thing, no license needed to rent your own prop or sell your own prop in any state. |

Generally a license is not needed to rent a property. If a portion of a property is rented, the property would need to be zoned for multi-family use. In some areas, a certificate of occupancy or other governmental sanction is necessary in order to rent a property. You should check with your local authorities or an attorney for the specifics in your area. |

As stated several times above, it varies state to state, city to city and you should call your local zoning board to find out.
While you don't give much information, other than "things happening now", there are some standards you can count on.
Most states require certain safeties and amenities. Property rented for human habitation must have sanitary sewage, fresh water and most states require operable kitchen appliances, such as stove and fridge.
There are also laws governing eviction ... for a renters/owners mutual protection.
You have to remember, though, if an owner is found lacking in what is legally necessary to provide safe/legal housing in return for rents received, the owner may simply decide not to meet the requirements and leave the property unrentable. In this case, u would have to move. It is usually up to the owner, they are not obligated to rent property, in most small scale applications.
If it is a large facility serving many people in an area desperately in need of habitation, the owners may be forced to bring it up to code, but more likely than not, they will just condemn the property, take the tax loss and the tenants will have to move, even in large scale situations.
Good luck |

to buy and sell property actively you would probably need
a license to sell real estate
that would not be the case though to simply be a landlord. |
