This is a no-pets property, clearly spelled out in the lease.The neighbor contacted me to complain about a dog that's been in the unit for about 3 months & says it belongs to the tenant's family that has apparently moved in. 

I am changing from my no-pet policy because of long vacancies, and I get many requests from would-be tenants with pets. 

Pet rent?

Its not cigarettes or pets or body odor or mildew or even simply dirty people.

If you never gave him an EMD and the contract doesn't say you "need" to, then I imagine you don't "owe" it...With that said... this is my biggest wholesaler pet peeve.

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.

Ho long they have known them, whether you think they would be good renters, would you consider them responsible, ask them about their work,  verify they don't have pets, try to string together 10 questions, some of which are just more conversational.

I’m not really sure you can vary the deposit amount, aside from collecting extra deposit for pets. 

For example, one huge pet-peeve of mine is when a seller states some super-inflated NET ROI that doesn't include accurate rental expenses.As far as showing the property, it comes down to the current owner's tolerance for putting a lockbox on the the place.

We have a tenant who has a puppy, even though her lease says no pets.
