Hi All, We have been self managing for over 20 years in SFH's, mostly in FL  and have been confronted with a number of tenant applicants who have assistance or therapy animals recently.

This needs to be just short of confrontational.

This set of tenants completely shocked us (trying to hide things they broke, then actually going as far as stating they left the home in better condition than when they moved in, the father had a verbal confrontation with a female neighbor, they were not paying for trash for over a year and were stuffing the neighbor's bins with their own trash, leaving piles on side yard behind gate, etc.).

I have found that most of the time when confronted with this paperwork, the residents will just resign to classifying their animal as a "pet" which comes with a $150 Pet Deposit, $350 Pet Fee, and $55 Pet Rent per month per animal. 

Has worked out very well for me so far and caused no controversy or confrontation.

It will now take another confrontation, you filing a complaint, another police visit, more slow stepping by the police and nothing is going to change.

A lot of people don't realize this is a service based industry, but one where some relative confrontation is part of the routine business.

If they pass that portion, then you can confront them about the extra dogs and ask for more rent for the additional dogs and a higher security deposit because more pets = more property damage.If you do rent to them, an important note is that many insurance companies don't cover pets like pitbulls when it comes to lawsuits so make sure you are aware of the specific laws in your city/state when it comes to high risk pets. 

I would confront him/her about it and give them the chance to make it right.

When I confronted her about it, she says “I’m waiting on a letter from my doctor for one of those emotional thingys”.My questions:  Do emotional support pets have to be disclosed before hand?
