Renter's insurance is very inexpensive and has so many benefits for the renter and the landlord. I always recommend that it be required for renters. Honestly, once they read about the benefits and how it protects them, renters rarely complain. It's a great safety net. 

Like any animal, any damages or trouble they cause are more than likely the owner's fault. One suggestion I would have is to be pet friendly on a "case by case basis." You could require pet interviews before allowing any pets in the home. That would give you a little extra time and opportunity to meet the pets before deciding whether or not you're willing to rent to this individual. 

I personally have had cats and dogs that have never been destructive, but I have seen many cases where other people pets are. So if you're unsure I would suggest to do it based off of a pet interview. Just stick to what you are comfortable with!

Best,

Jeni

Hi!

In that situation, I would charge a much larger pet deposit and additional pet rent. If you are already planning to allow two cats, I couldn't imagine how much more additional damage a third would do.. Just make sure you are charging plenty enough to cover those potential damages. Also, with it being a one individual with three pets, I am sure she will be much more willing to pay the additional fee and rent rather than choosing a cat to take to the shelter.  I would also be very strict on making three the limit and put in the lease she is not allowed to adopt any additional pets. 

Those are just my thoughts on it and what I would do in that situation! 

Good luck! 

Hi Steve,

I've listed a few ways that I think help strengthen your chances of finding a great tenant! 

1. Be a firm but fair landlord. Always treat your rental as a business first! 

2. Price your house at a fair price and set strict qualifications for your applicants to meet. 

3. Prescreen your tenants (income, credit, evictions, criminal). 

4. Walk your applicant to their car following  a showing and see what kind of condition they keep their car in. This will give you a better idea of the condition they'll leave your home in. 

5. Do a very in depth screening; full credit and background check, as well as an eviction report. Call previous landlords for references, and verify employment and income.

5. Always follow your gut feeling!
