sounds overcomplicated, why not just rebrand the so called "land contract" into renting?

edit: wouldn't land contracts required idiotic amounts of identification as opposed to renting which requires none?

Because landlords dont want land contracts. They make more on rent.

All we have to do is set up an owner-occupant exemption to a massive property tax hike. Landlords won't be eligible for that exemption.

Landlords will use land contracts to get around that hike. They'll be pushing for tenants to become owners in order to avoid the tax man.

No. It's an agreement between two parties. They require no more identification than any other agreement between two parties.

Technically, the agreement should be registered with the county as it affects the deed of the property, but that isn't strictly necessary for the first three years.
