The property is fully fenced, has off-street parking in back, and we are allowing pets.

It does however have a fenced in yard and we allow pets.

Tenants do it all the time and we get pissed as landlords when the deal changes mid lease (a pet, a BF that has moved in, etc) so why wouldn't you expect the tenants to be upset when you tried to sneak in a replacement that was not like kind and quality to what they signed up for?

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

It would be nice to know if there is a downward pricing trend going on ... once I sink my teeth into something I go fast so I don't want to go TOO fast if it looks like we're in a down trend.

HI Jesse,If you move to a large Apartment Complex you won't have to worry about things like that.Plus in many of them you will have an onsite gym, a pool, a hot tub (full of new potential friends), and the possibility of having a pet or two.Good Luck!

Granted, it may be just my own pet peeve but I do not like the idea of a bank having controlling interest of my investments.  

I charge $250 non-refundable fee per pet.

This is a huge pet peeve of mine.  

No pets, or pet rent, landscaping responsibility, utilities, length guests can stay, etc etc.
