[Heather O.]

Initially Tenant filled in application: 1 dog

Then added 2 when signing the lease.

The next day, moved in 8 100lb pitbulls.  I have daily photos of 5 to 8 giant pitbulls in the yard.

We do not charge a pet deposit, instead we charge additional monthly pet rent per pet.  For small pets under 10 lbs, its $25 mo per pet, and for any pet larger its $50 mo per pet.  Turns away some people with pets, but also we have never had an issue occupying our properties with great tenants who understand.    As for pit bulls, as long as there's no local law against them, we have no problem with them.  Have owned a few myself over the years, and were the best dogs I've ever had.  As long as they're raised right, they're no worse then any other dog.  Any dog can be raised to be a fighter and bite people.

Here's our pet language from our lease-

PETS

No animal, fowl, fish, reptile, and/or pet of any kind shall be kept on or about the premises, for any amount of time, without obtaining the prior written consent and meeting the requirements of the LESSOR/LANDLORD. Such consent, if granted, shall be revocable at LESSOR/LANDLORD’S option upon giving a 30-day written notice. In the event laws are passed or permission is granted to have a pet and/or animal of any kind, an additional deposit in the amount of $0.00 PER PET shall be required along with additional monthly rent of $50.00 (Dollars) PER PET along with the signing of LESSOR/LANDLORD’S Pet Agreement. LESSEE/TENANT also agrees to carry renter’s insurance deemed appropriate by LESSOR/LANDLORD to cover possible liability and damages that may be caused by such animals, and to list LESSOR/LANDLORD as additional insured. LESSEE/TENANT is responsible to notify LESSOR/LANDLORD immediately prior to any change to pet status, or additional pets being kept on or about the premises, for any amount of time, and sign additional updated pet agreement if approved by LESSOR/LANDLORD.  Failure to report any change in pet status, LESSOR/LANDLORD may declare this lease violated and re-enter, taking over rightful possession forthwith.
