New landlord/applicant questions, etc.

[Dan S.]

I have a property that I recently rehabbed and I have on the market. I had it listed for a couple months and brought the price down due to no applicants (but I had had lookers). My post said no dogs, cats only. More recently I got three people interested who have dogs (people don’t care what the ad says)—so I am wondering if I can go back / should go back and raise the price and say with dogs.

Can I do that?

Also, I am new to this as I said. In this one scenario a person applied who says she has adequate income. Now she says that it will be her and two others applying. Does that mean all three will need to be on lease and all three will have to have adequate income? Or is she one who will be paying me and they pay her their share? And, if it is three, do the utilities go in all three names? How would that work?

Thx for helping out a newbie!
