My dad inherited my grandma's ancient house recently and is practically forced to find a way to remodel it to be rentable because there is a imputed rental value tax where I'm from.
What's the alternative, just leave it empty?
I would think it could also be acceptable to transfer ownership to a relative who doesn't already own a home. It just seems like a waste to have a house with nobody living in it while so many people are unhoused.
I guess he could sell it but then its pretty likely that it's brought by a property developer, as we can't afford to buy it off him. As it stands, the house isn't really suitable to live in
