Tenants lie about pets

[Karla Simmons]

Tenants and tenant candidates lie about having pets! This has been our experience over the years. Not all, of course, but a lot do!

@Karla Simmons Use petscreening.com even for tenants without pets so they have to acknowledge your pet policy. Its free and they verify the emotional support animal is legit. If the emotional support animal is bs, this scares away 90% of people. Put the no pet clause in the lease and use an addendum if you will allow pets. If they bring one in then you have cause to evict because they broke the lease.
