I included the restrictions from my insurance, the requirements of spay/neuter, vaccinated and registered with the City of Chicago, older than 15 months, and that a vet certify the breed (as I learned here that some tenants lie and say Labrador, when the animal is actually a pitt mix, or another breed that violates home insurance.)

I don't discriminate, I screen the animal, require registration - which implies current vaccinations or titer testing, spay/neuter, and I get a sense for the temperament.

I say Yea (full disclosure - pit bull owner/landlord/realtor) but only if:Tenants pay a fee.You see copies of vet records showing vaccines, annual visits, etc.You see rabies certificate.You see dog license.You see training certificate/get recommendation from vet/trainer.They agree to pay me ($25) for each time my landscapers have to pick up dog doo.Bonus points for them taking dog to day care 1-2x/week or getting extra liability insurance.If they are willing to jump through these hoops, they are likely responsible owners and worthy of renting to.
