You can require ALL tenants to exercise responsible animal ownership, protect the property, minimize chance of harm to other people, and maintain acceptable noise levels that do not interfere with neighbors' enjoyment of their own property.A well-written animal clause will require the tenant to:Provide proof of current shots, if applicableProvide proof of flea control medication, if applicableDisclose the name and contact information of the veterinarian caring for the animal, if applicable (hamsters, for example, probably do not have veterinarians)Keep dogs in a crate or on a leash at all times when outside the dwellingUse a pooper-scooper, whether on the leased premises or another's propertyVary locations of dog urination, so as not to burn shrubs or lawnEmpty cat litter boxes daily into outside receptaclesControl  excessive barking that disturbs the neighborsAllow monthly inspections for pet damageImmediately clean any pet discharges and immediately report any damageAssist with Twice monthly HVAC filter changes for long-haired animalsKeep pet food supplies in pest-proof containersI think that if you approach the problem in this manner, you will be more comfortable complying with Fair Housing laws.
