A preconstruction condo I purchased is about to close, and I would like to claim it as a personal dwelling as my brother in law plans to live there. I wanted to confirm if I can
1. Do this and avoid paying HST by claiming it as my personal dwelling
2. or Do I have to put my partner's name on title to make this legit
Thanks so much for all the useful information on your site!

Either you, your spouse, common-law partner, or dependent child must live in the condo in order for you to avoid paying back the HST rebate on closing.
