Anyone else seeing a surge in companion/comfort/service/you name it/pets?

A yard for kids and pets (upkeep is tenant's job).  

Of course, we are immediately addressing the issue, but it made me reflect on...doors.Whats YOUR pet peeve in your rentals?

This is a bit of a pet peeve of mine as a Civil Engineer.

Review your Landlord - Tenant Law document as this will define what you can legally place in the lease and what you can ask for in regards to security deposit, last month rent and pet fees. 

In addition to pet rent, do you have any additional clauses in the lease regarding pets?  

I'm trying to sort out the pros/cons behind charging pet rent ($15-25/month) vs. a one-time non-refundable pet deposit ($250).  

Lady complained about our pet deposit policy, but she has 2 bullmastifs.

It is when you live in one pet of a duplex, tri or quad and rent the others.

I believe the insurance company is using good business practice by requiring $300,000 liability insurance for a pet like a cat or dog.Ask an attorney and they will recommend the same renters insurance coverage.Additionally they would advise you to ask for a copy of the insurance coverage.A cat or dog can cause someone to trip and injure themselves, they could jump up on someone and injure them when they fall, the pet can bite someone (causing them to miss work), knock over a lighted candle and burn the place down.As you knew about the pet if the renter does Not have insurance they are going to attempt to make a claim on your insurance or sue you.
