I normally have a no-pets policy  (which stems from bitter experiences and Urban Farming)  but allowed them in the case.  

For example, I am a little more specific for tenants with pets.

So far I have not allowed pets, and never had a problem with getting great tenants.

And, I like your sense of humor - which is sometimes needed in this business.Without actually walking across the house and getting mine, I think it also includes adjusting thermostats and opening cabinets, etc. and setting off the first round of insect spray "bombs" if there was a pet. 

No, the owners did not have pets and they didn't leave any human feces or urine behind.

I put this down, originally, because of pets in the house.

I've got a couple decent candidates I'm considering, both with pros and cons...1st OPTION:Doctor + retired woman, both mid-60s, no kids, no pets~ 9x monthly rent in income2-year lease... potentially longer termGreat credit score-- However --Tax liens, bankruptcy, both have "messy" divorces in past couple yearsOnly been dating for about a yearDUI, expired plates, and another charge I'm looking into--2nd OPTION:Young couple, Dad + stay-at-home mom, baby, small dogRelocating from Texas~ 4x monthly rent in income1-year lease... almost guaranteed not longer than thatAlready had higher house payment in Texas, so rent would be cheaperExcellent credit scorePerfect background checkPerfect credit reportSo the question is, do you go with the older couple without the pet who's already interested in signing a 2-year lease and could potentially stay longer?

Do you need to trademark research before "naming" your house, or can you pretty much call your house anything you like naming a pet?

Look to see if there are any fees being generated, pet fees, application fees, late fees, etc.What type of property is it ( A B C D).

Finally, it will be in number one above, but I am always surprised how much the pet policy can open or restrict a unit to potential renters or buyers....so read that close, too.
