What is the best way to pet proof a rental?

I am currently looking for more investment property in my town, and in doing my research on the local buy/sell pages it seems like there is an incredibly high demand for rentals that accept pets. I, like most landlords, don't really like the 4 legged friends to be in my units, but this might be a market here to make some money if I can find a way to keep my turnover costs low by "pet proofing" any new units that I buy. Just wondering what are the best ways to "pet proof" a rental?

Tile floors.  Cheap cabinets.  

Put a weight limit on pets to which you will rent. 

Also, get paid for the risk - ask an additional pet rent rate.
