Renting to a family with 2 kids (2 and 7 years old)

[Jay Chung]

Hi,

I am thinking about accepting an application for a family. This is a duplex. Does anyone have a favorite lease clause they throw in so they are protected from damages from youngsters?

In the past I've seen glitters that were really hard to clean, random painting every where etc.

Quote from @Denis Ponder:

Most leases talk about returning the property to the condition it was in when you first rented it, outside of normal wear and tear.  That's probably your best bet.

 Pretty much. Keep it simple.
