Hi Stephanie,Pink front door, green ceiling, purple walls.And who knows what quality of workmanship or sloppiness she has.And if she falls off of a ladder are you carrying workman's comp.If the paint is ready for a repaint, it's intelligent to hire a professional painter with professional drop cloths and insurance.The downside is where will the renter live during this (stinky odorous) commotion, and all of the renters belongings are exposed to theft by the painters.Good Luck!

Further, you can also place "reasonable" restrictions on the animals, including the requirement of a recent veterinarian report on the health and vaccine status, with annual updates; must be spayed or neutered unless contraindicated by veterinarian; must be in a carrier or on a leash (unless this prevents them performing their service or task) in common areas,especially elevators, stairways, and other areas where people would be in confined spaces; must clean up after the animal properly in common areas; offensive odors must not emanate from the residence; aggressive or nuisance behavior (such as extended periods of barking NOT related to the service or task they provide) can be prohibited, and potentially grounds for removing the animal and/or the resident; animal must have a chip or collar with owner's identifying/contact information; must have appropriate city/county license if required locally; and photos of the animal for your records.A thorough and clear policy will deter many of those that are less than sincere from applying when they are made aware of the policy details early in the process...like at the viewing, and mention of the policy in ads.

But that's taken 10 years to gain that level of experience to draw on when we approach a new venture to know what's a home run, and what looks like  a home run, but is really a foul ball.  

Agents and wholesalers both like to compete for “best marketing hyperbole”...Just once I want to read “Come for the mystery water stains but stay for the pungent aroma of bleach we use to cover the musty odor!”

No foul there.

I've got to call foul on that one.  

Heavy smokers and the windows didn't open.Removed all flooring and anything that could hold an odor.

Let me know your thoughts....I don’t allow pets in my rentals and I have no problem renting my units to great people that appreciate a home that doesn’t have a lingering pet odor. besides what @Nathan G. posted above, it’s 110lbs.  

It is very costly to remedy the odor if you want to be a responsible LL to the future tenants. 

The cat has been removed by the tenant, but I am now trying to find a company that will remove the odor.
