Hi Daniel, I hope this helps. I purchased a one bedroom condo on assignment and then found a buyer for it prior to the building registering (still waiting). After he building registers with the city the closing is usually within 30 days. In order for the buyer to avoid paying HST, the unit needed to be rented once the occupancy permit was given (3 months ago). The unit is no longer considered a new home upon completion OF THE SALE. FYI: this condo is in Barrie, ON.
