 4 ing a residential lease or rental agreement with a tenant, the owner of
 5 real property consisting of one or more rental units that has been
 6 damaged by fire shall:
 7 (a) if the real property is located in a municipality that issues
 8 certificates of occupancy, obtain a certificate of occupancy from such
 9 municipality. Such certificate of occupancy shall only be issued if such
 10 real property is habitable and no building code violations are present.
 11 Such certificate of occupancy shall only be valid if it is dated subse-
 12 quent to the date such property was damaged by fire; or
 13 (b) if the real property is located in a municipality that does not
 14 issue certificates of occupancy, obtain a written statement of
 15 inspection from the building code enforcement officer of such munici-
 16 pality or an independent building inspector. Such statement of
 17 inspection shall only be issued if such real property is habitable and
 18 no building code violations are present. Such statement of inspection
 19 shall only be valid if it is dated subsequent to the date such property
 20 was damaged by fire.
 21 2. Prior to executing a residential lease or rental agreement with a
 22 tenant, the owner of real property subject to subdivision one of this
 23 section shall provide an actual copy of the valid certificate of occu-
 24 pancy or statement of inspection required by such subdivision to such
 25 tenant.
