Pets or no pets
Looking for opinions and policies for pets in your rental properties. We are trying to decide whether to allow it and what to charge them/policies in lease. Thanks for your advice.

I will consider pets in my SFR mostly because I know how hard it was to find a place when I was young(er) and had pets myself. With any dog, I require a "pet assessment" to be done by a qualified/certified dog trainer who can assess whether the dog is well behaved and obeys basic commands. this also gives me (via my trainer) a chance to evaluate how the owners interact w/ their pets. Good, responsible pet owners will have dogs that are polite, courteous and listen to basic commands. These pets are rarely a problem. This is my payback to the Universe for those who allowed my dog/cat and trusted me as a tenant.
