All of a sudden they are wanting to “re-discuss” the lease because the neighbor’s dog barks a lot and they play music in the middle of the night ie 2:30am until 5:30am quite often - week days, weekends, it doesn’t matter.

Former Realtor here, so no dog in this particular hunt.I have always viewed NAR as a cartel. 

Imagine this: dirt roads with massive potholes, jungle on one side and im paying almost $100/night and barely any hot water, the water in general is dangerous.. but foreigner yuppies like me everywhere walking on the road.. breakfast place La Paleta or sthing is full of ppl and theres dogs trying to chip away at your food, other side of the road major contruction happening 2 large condotels/apartments are being built.

 tenant intiially voiced they wanted to stay at least 4 years due to the school district before signing. we are almost through year one with them, and will need to restructure our lease in a few months. they have been fine tenants.i was thinking about incentivizing it, but want some expert opinions. they currently pay 2795 a month, but a total of 2863 with the property mangement fees( pet and "convenience" fees) but we are getting rid of our property mangement company and doing it ourselves. trying to think of the best way to pitch thisso what i was thinking was:2863 for 3 years ( it would stay flat for 3 years)2925 for 2 years (flat for 2)2975 for 1 yearthoughts?

Los Angeles City here~Our 3 bedroom 2 bath, fully gated, pet friendly, flexible lease term, located in Sherman Oaks 91403 near Galleria is coming to market for rent in July 1st.

The neighbor has a dog in chain outside the property that bark at any visitor.

I'm not sure about California but in Delaware we have to put security and pet deposits into an escrow account (separate from all other accounts)

Quote from @Jess Keller:  Unfortunately your sign doesn't actually do anything to prevent excessive noise, parking problems, fireworks, property maintenance, trash, pets, unpredictable neighborhoods or anything else related...I am for allowing STRs in mixed used zones and against allowing them in residential zones.

To piggy back off Connor - offering an incentive to tenants who find another renter when you have vacancies and trying to limit pets can help a lot as well!
