Those of you guys that have been at this I am curious how you handle the following situations. Everyone says to set your rules and keep them.

Smoking:
Pets:
Credit:
Felons:
Age:
First time renters:
Previous evictions:
Rent Collection:
Lawn Care:
Maintenance issues:
Late Fees:
Breaking a lease:
Using security deposit for repairs:

I have developed what I think are good guidelines for these but figure I would see how folks with more experience have their business set up.
