We offer it only if it is on an autopay with our online rental software, otherwise it would be to much work

W9, and check gets written to the brokerage, not the agent, at least that is how it works in Illinois. And in my mls listings I say we don't pay until the tenant takes possession. I assume you screened the tenant, not this agent??? I have seen a lot of agents lie and do anything to place their client to get their commission.

Our criteria says if they have a disallowed pet, or if they said they had a disallowed pet and are giving it away, they are denied. We have enforced that a few times.

Also, I just looked at a summary if the law in Colorado, if a home was built before a certain date and not sold or transfered it isn't required. new construction must have it.

Jon Holdman I wasn't clear, they are not required in hotels in Colorado, I think only like 13 states require them in hotels. Seems ridiculous.

Wow, that doesn't happen in our area. But I did have an assessor leave a door hanger wanting to see the inside of the house after pulling HVAC permits shortly after purchase. Ignored and two years later no new request.

Yes, required in our state. I only recently learned it's not in other states which blows my mind, I spend a few weeks traveling out west (Colorado, Utah, etc) to ski every winter and plan to pack a CO detector now. Ridiculous it's not required in states that have winter.

If you can show it now, list it now.

I had a tenant try to ask for that. I said,"If you have allergies, why are you living in a fully carpeted house with two shedding dogs?" I told him to get a HEPA air cleaner. He did and said it helped and they renewed the least the following year.

@Stewart McMillan thanks so much for the detailed follow-up in what happened and why! And so glad to hear how the judges actually think about these opportunistic situations!
