I got lucky that the tenant wanted a house in my neighborhood to keep kids close to their schoolsHouse was listed for 1750, they offered 2250 but I declined , so they offered $3k, ended up renting the house for $3250 ($250 pet rent) per month, for 3 month, open to extension if needed.I met the tenant and did the background check on them, I felt comfortable renting to them THD takes time with approving the property, but they were quick to approve the lease, and they sent me the checks the next day after lease signingMy house is not furnished, and they were ok with that , they actually work with a company that provides furniture for the tenant, and they coordinate the delivery and setup of furniture on the lease start dateOverall I like the experience working with them , but hey today is day #1 (out of a possible 3 months), so I will update this post if anything wrong happens or if I notice any red flags

Whether or not you allow pets, guests are bringing them. 

Pet, ESA, or legitimate service animal, it doesn't matter.

If it is not behaved such that you would not accept it as a pet, reject it.  

I'm willing to pay for the full year in advance.ME: I'm sorry, but we clearly said in our marketing that this third-floor apartment has a no-pet policy.

I allow pets with a pet fee and have a cleaning fee, tenants change out every 3-6 months on my MTR usually. 

Food in fridge is from April this year and it basically looks like someone was half way through moving out and then something happened and so a bunch of stuff is still in house. specifically one room filled with about 10 burner phones, 3 tvs, personal clothes, mail, kids personal items and bunch of random stuff new with tags, etc etc. he also had pets which was against lease term. one of the rooms was used as a pet room completely destroying carpet and staining walls with urine etc. 

If the tenants have a pet, like a dog, it’s worth discussing, as pets are a common source of fleas.

We have late fees, pet fees (though less these days with the whole service animal abuse), parking fees in some cases, storage unit feeds, coin laundry revenue etc... it can add up.Good luck.

It’s pet friendly with hardware floors and a fenced in backyard.
