should I rent to a family with 4 dogs?
so my rental has been sitting on the market for a month and a half now. I've gotten a few showings but only one really interested prospective tenant who actually showed. everything on their app and credit report look good. I also have a good vibe about them. only concern is that they have 4 dogs, 3 of which are American pit bulls that are around 40 pounds each. 1 is a pomeranian.
I have a monthly pet fee for each pet ($50 for one and $35 for each thereafter).
my thinking was that this fee should more than cover any potential damage I can think of. but I'm still a little weary. should I rent to them?
