I believe that someone said they paid the back taxs on this property, but when I goto the website that has this property, it says that the taxes are unpaid. Can this person get in trouble if he/she rents it out with out getting the deed first?

Can someone show me the correct way to see if he/she really did pay the back taxes?

Thanks.

I'm not sure what you need to know. It is not allowed to rent out a property that is in foreclosure but if taxes haven't been paid it could be someone else will buy the tax certificate.

He/she said that they paid the back taxes and in order for them to get the deed it needs to be fixed up. I need to know, how can I see if the back taxes are paid? Or should I just trust him/her on his/her word? Every time I ask to see the papers he/she get upset and starts cursing at me. So I need to see for myself IF he/she really did pay those taxes like he/she said.

I'm not quite sure what you are trying to say. Several of your statements have nothing to do with real estate law:

"in order for them to get the deed it needs to be fixed up" -- this makes no sense

You can't just immediately "get the deed" by paying someone else's property taxes or by buying the tax certificate. It is a several year process before you are even allowed to foreclose on the previous owner. Here's a primer:

bentlebee is also incorrect -- you most certainly can rent out a property that is "in foreclosure", as long as you are the current owner and the property has not yet been resold in a public auction.
