If a landlord does not have a valid Certificate of Occupancy (CO), he or she is not entitled to rent the structure for the purposes of habitation. That means you are not lawfully allowed to collect rent for the property. A tenant may have a claim against you if rent it, the tenant decides to move, and you withhold any portion of the security, when you do not have the privilege to do so.
In some states, the fact you did not have a CO can result in the tenant winning double or even triple damages.

A landlord can evict a co-tenant for several reasons, including failure to pay rent, violating lease terms (such as causing property damage or engaging in illegal activities), or if the lease allows for eviction under specific circumstances. Additionally, if a co-tenant disrupts the peace or safety of other tenants, the landlord may have grounds for eviction. It's essential for landlords to follow the proper legal procedures for eviction as required by local laws.
