first year tenant asking about pets

[Luke H.]

Hello everyone, hope all is well.

A tenant hasn't completed their first year, has paid on time each month, and kept the house in good order.  Tenant is asking if they sign another year lease if there is an option of having a small dog.  It was a strict no pet policy to start with (tired of flea infestations, and fighting pet smells/stains).

I am considering allowing a very small dog, requiring all dog paper work (immunizations /city registration) charging $75.00 more a month in rent, and doing monthly inspections. 

Anyways, I wanted to get feed back from everyone else on this.
