Pet Policy - Rental House

[Cameron Rouse]

Have a rental house with 2 tenants in it and they were looking to add another roommate since one moved out. The new roomate has a 5 years old Husky/Shepherd that is 50lbs. I don't prefer to have animals in the home as it has brand new carpet.

My first thought is to deny the tenant due to the size and breed of dog, however should I consider the option of a large pet deposit and pet rent. Should I give the option of them paying $60-$100/month pet rent and $500 deposit or should I just deny them? Curious what others have done.
