1. The intent of this Part is to prevent the owners of properties in the township which are in violation of housing, building, safety, plumbing, electrical and fire ordinances and regulations, from offering such properties for sale without revealing such illegal use or the existence of housing, building, safety, plumbing, electrical and fire violations.
2. To prevent undue hardships and losses imposed on such purchasers by owners who have failed to reveal the illegal use or condition of the property being conveyed or who have made misrepresentations in that regard, the township finds that it is in the best interest of the township to declare that all sellers of property, as defined herein, shall be required to advise the purchaser of the legal use and condition of such property, and to deliver to the purchaser prior to the execution of the agreement of sale for such property a use registration certificate, obtained from the Code Enforcement Officer, showing the legal use and district classification for such property, the existence of any housing, building, safety, plumbing, electrical or fire violations, and any municipal claims due the township.
