Which of the following is NOT listed as permitted to redeem a tax certificate?

Explanation:
Redeeming a tax certificate is tied to a financial or ownership interest in the property. The right to redeem comes from being the property owner (or the owner’s heirs) or from holding a recorded security interest, such as a mortgagee or another lienholder, who has a stake in protecting their investment. These parties can pay the delinquent taxes plus interest within the redemption period to reclaim the property’s tax status. A tenant, on the other hand, does not possess an ownership stake or a recorded lien on the property. A leaseholder’s rights do not create a redeeming interest in the tax certificate, so a tenant cannot redeem.
