Hey all, I am helping a friend rent out their small 2 bedroom , one bath 800 sq ft house. It has a failed title 5. Mostly likely due to outdated system, not about not working. Can they still legally rent out the house? thanks --96.233.xxx.xxx |

In homes that have a septic or cesspool system it has to be inspected and it may fail if in out of compliance. --96.233.xxx.xxx |

Oh! OK. If the septic/cesspool has failed it needs to be fixed so call a septic company and see what they say.
Tank needs pumped? Leach field failed? Bad connections? Got to know what the exact problem is. The septic company should give you a figure to fix it.
If it is the leach field ask back here as there are sometimes different ways to fix that. --66.188.xx.xxx |

So title 5 inspection on septic is required.
Then no you cant rent it out. Would not be considered habitable or same as not up to code. --73.177.xxx.xx |

Bet, Title 5 only comes into play when you try to buy/sell the house. A bank will only give out a mortgage if the prop passes Title 5. So, "failed Title 5" = no mortgage = no sale.
But, for a rental, it's not a problem.
Title 5 is more about the design of the system, rather than if it's functioning or not.

People live in houses for decades without a problem and only know that the Title 5 failed when they try to sell. --66.189.xx.xxx |
