I also noticed that they had pets that seemed to be malnourished and their kids had scratches on their faces. 

Screw being nice and mutual, provide notice, you meet repair persons, and make entry, 2) Check with City Health to see what happens if you refuse to make the repairs.For example, if they say they'll "condemn" the unit then that may be great because the tenants will lose the place to stay pet the City's order.

High humidity probably exacerbates the problem.The mold these units spew have caused health problems for my family and pets.

I didn't plan on allowing pets without a separate deposit.

Applicant said that they do not have any pets, but they do have a co-worker that comes through town twice a week that will be staying overnight, and they have a dog.My standard terms for a normal pet situation are $25/month per pet, $300 non-refundable pet fee.

OK so this is kind of a pet peeve of mine.I frequently see posts that say "I'm looking for _________ in __________."

(repaint, refinished hardwood floors, minor plumbing, minor electrical, and lots of cleaning)Total cash invested: $4,834.60Rent: $625/mo + $25/mo per pet Thankfully we signed a 12 month lease about two weeks after closing on August 1st.

One tenant will smoke inside, sneak in 5 pets and change their Harley oil in your living room and you'll be out thousands.  

The house could rent and provide only $80 positive cash flow per month after all expenses including property management, maintenance reserve, etc.Equity in home after purchase: $50k roughlyCash on Cash: Only 3.8% BTW: There are 0 rentals available in this area and most don't allow pets and we think we can make this our niche by allowing them. 

I have  a home I rent and the lease states no pets, but allows one dog per a pet addendum.
