For animal urine smells, I recommend one of the enzyme based sprays, such as Rug Doctor Platinum Urine Eliminator.

Well, it's been about a week and the loitering has intensified and a neighbor and my lawn guy told me that she saw the dogs there again over the weekend.

Besides the tennants can always put down a rug or remnant for comfort.  

You can use heavier curtains, rugs on floors and walls, etc.  

We usually hang shower curtains, add throw rugs, hangers and gift bags with tissue paper, a plant and door mat at the front door and lots of air fresheners.

Everyone will talk about leveraging you money and other things, but ultimately it's your money and you should build the lifestyle you want with it - but just make sure you also build protections into it so people can't pull the rug out from under you.

My home inspector specifically excluded checking for structural cracks, damage, etc UNDER tenant belongings including area rugs in the garage.

Once they realize that they lost 10-20 percent in the next several months and they see that rental rates are not as robust as during Covid there will be a lot of investors who will try to do a rug pull and get out of their depreciating homes.

Prospective tenants cant picture the VCT floor with area rugs.

During one of our evictions the tenants stole two new rugs we had placed in the bedrooms.
