Should tenant with dog be accepted?

should pet be allowed for rental? 

[Andrew Syrios]

I'm a fan of renting to pets in houses and duplexes, and perhaps cats if it's an apartment with no common area (with a limit of one). This especially helps find tenants in suburbia where many people often want to have a house and yard because of their pets. 

Just make sure to 1) Charge a non-refundable pet deposit (we charge $250), 2) charge pet rent (we charge $25/month per pet, 3) Limit the number of pets (we set 3 as the maximum) and 4) not allow dangerous breeds of dogs. 

It's up to you, but I think the pet deposit and fee make up for any damages and it provides an advantage marketing your rentals.
