The term “RENTING” includes…

  • Renting the property for profit
  • Allowing the occupant to live in the home free-of-charge
  • Collecting the amount of (or part of) the monthly mortgage payment as rent
  • Hiring a realtor, real estate company, or an individual to manage the property
  • Bartering (or favors) of any kind, which includes allowing the occupant to live in the home while making renovations
