It's a rental. Even in jurisdictions that don't require
regular houses to have an occupancy permit at time of sale,
I imagine some of them require it for rental properties.
The fact that the owner will live there is kind of beside
the point for this purpose.

I'm sure there also are jurisdictions where an OP is required
every time a house changes hands. Seems like an unwarranted
government intrusion to me, but apparently the residents of
those places don't mind it enough to militate for change.
