What's Your Take on Pet?

Good day, BP community!

I am looking for your opinions, advice, horror stories, etc on renting to pet owners. I currently own a 4-unit multi-family with a "no pet" policy. Recently, I have had to turn away two perspective renters because they were looking for something pet friendly. What is your opinion on renting to pet owners? Is it worth it to open up your properties to them? What kind of monthly fees or deposits do you charge? Are there any special clauses you include in the lease?

Obviously I am not including service animals in this discussion since they are a protected class. I'm just talking about your general pets.

Thanks in advance!
