Prior to the sale or exchange of ownership of any rental dwelling, the owner thereof shall deliver a copy of the most recent inspection report, if any, to the buyer of such dwelling prior to the consummation of the sale thereof.
Under Tilton Municipal Code Chapter 226, Section 226-13, before a rental dwelling changes hands through a sale or exchange, the current owner is required to give the buyer a copy of the most recent inspection report for that property, provided one exists. This rule applies at the point of sale, before the transaction is finalized. If no inspection report has ever been issued, the obligation to provide one does not arise.
