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.

Maybe just a pet peeve, but I don't understand the concept.

What type of Pets are legal rental pets?

My biggest pet peeve is the the way you have to deal with balances on a credit card. 

Here goes...One of my biggest pet peeves in real estate is the CAP Rate.

in my humble experience...rent to best qualified first foremost. only after application, background, verified credit  i use www.rentapplication.net/then yes cash up front for deposit, plus first last months rent, leaves 4 months. i add extra for pets too.i rented in both summer and winter. dont mind either.i rented just before christmas. people need house all year. lazy picky ones only move in june. loli did offer free use of my trailer or discount if moved in before next storm, Christmas etc.

How long have the tenants occupied, what they pay for rent, do they have any deposits, are pets allowed (or have they ever been allowed), who handles lawn care, what does the owner pay for utilities, have there been any lease violations or noise complaints, do the tenants pay on time...Those are some examples.
