This has historically been a difficult property to rent, and it has been vacant for 2 months, with no other qualified applicants at this time.The applicants have 2 small "service dogs" with certificates from a random website. 

@Patrick Philip it's time to study real estate finance and learn how it works IF you want to roll with the big dogs.

Positive rental history since the time of eviction is one way to demonstrate a change in behavior.

I’ve been asking for an extra $300 deposit and $25 a month per dog.

If the tenant resumes the same behavior again file much faster to avoid two months of not collecting rent.

You're essentially rewarding the bad behavior to escape a greater loss and then dumping them on the next unsuspecting Landlord.

Then you can send another demand letter to the updated address.One of my colleagues bird-dogged a tenant by sending him a Christmas Card every year with "Return Service Requested" on the envelope.

.- Relax your pet policy to allow small and large dogs and cats. 

Bob I have had a issue with floating floors being placed under the cabinets before, if they get wet by any means it going to cause a lot of future problems. so its better in my option to cut around the cabinets especially considering there are water lines in the sink cabinet, so exposure to water at some point is likely. although if it is tile I always place it beneath cabinets and vanities so for the simplicity of changing them out should a tenants destroy them or the dog eats the cabinet/vanity which actually recently happen, the only issue your going run into when you cut around the cabinets is if you need to replace it for any reason the cabinets are never the exact some size so thats why I prefer to use tile in any areas that would have cabinetry. hope this hopes and best of luck!

It's "bird-dogging" wherein you find the deals and then hand them off to an investor.
