but the tenants all have large pets that are destroying the place. 

Some of these apartment complexes I have only owned for less than 2 years and have replaced about 80% of the inherited residents with a higher class tenant paying $80-$100.00 more per unit, plus $25.00 pet rent per door. 

you will be surprised by how much time you can waste on the phone with people that wont even qualify. for instance, all my ads say no pets. 

Does the State of Georgia have any laws with regards to pets in a rental?

Is there a listing of pet friendly Townhome HOA communities.

Since I'm in the financial position where I want to pay down my debt aggressively (hence, the reason I'm deciding to move into my parents with my boyfriend and 3 pets for the next year, BIG sigh), I'm worried about wasting money on license that I could be using to pay down my debt.
