Legally, you do not need a registered Certificate of Title to rent out your property as the owner, especially if you have proof of ownership through a legally binding agreement with the developer.
However, when using a licensed realtor and especially listing through the MLS (Multiple Listing System), most agencies require a title as a compliance and verification measure, not a legal one.
Realtors use the title to confirm ownership, legal status, and prevent disputes. They don’t want to list a property if they cannot verify you’re legally entitled to rent or sell it.
