When you are buying a home, make sure that your realtor has you check out the Municipal Lean Search. A Municipal Lean search used to not be a big deal. But in the last four years, now it is. Because if there's an electric bill or a water bill from a previous owner or tenant, it is now going to become a cost for the new buyer. A Municipal Lean Search will check out any unpaid utility bill, any code enforcement, any open or expired permits. I should be able to say that without looking at my paper.

You don't want to be stuck with a previous owner's bill.
