I would just politely ask your tenant to do so. If he's done it last year, he should be okay with doing it this year as well.

We charge a one time, non-refundable pet fee - most landlords usually charge anywhere between $50-$500 for pet fees, which you can use for any damages. You can charge this fee, depending on the amount of risk presented by the pet. Additionally, we charge a small monthly amount for pet rent, where you can charge anywhere from $10-$80 each month. Pet fees (whether one time or monthly rent) are not legal in every state, so I suggest you refer to your state laws as well.

@Jonathan Mills For countertops, I would personally go with granite. Granite is quite effective as it is scratch, stain and chip resistant. I would suggest a darker shade of granite to prevent any stains.

I recommend having your carpets cleaned and scrubbing your walls and windows. If the smell is still there, then an ozone machine will help.

@Geoff Pettis We accept pets in our rental properties. We charge a one time, non-refundable pet fee - most landlords usually charge anywhere between $50-$500 for pet fees, which you can use for any damages.

@Peter Morgan If you're allowing them to rent with a pet, then I recommend having a good pet policy in place. We charge a one time, non-refundable pet fee - most landlords usually charge anywhere between $50-$500 for pet fees, which you can use for any damages.
