Hi Calvin, I looked at that one too as it could be a good deal.It's definitely going to be more than 10k based on the details in the MLS:"Just vacated by tenant; Needs cleaning and the flooring is likely to need replacing throughout; Please be aware there is a STRONG PET ODOR in the house and pet damage in places; One window has broken glass and one shower is not usable; I believe one of the toilets is not functioning as well.

Tenant adds an unauthorized pet, we inspect and document that it was removed.

The prospective tenant has offered a pet deposit (it's illegal to require one in our jurisdiction).

I run pet Friendly places and make it clear that animal rescue is my chosen charity.

Pet rent or deposit?

My lawyer said that the best way to proceed is to get her for non-payment and file for eviction.Today she is due to pay the second half portion of the pet deposit($250/500). 

.: no pets, maintining property appearance, etc.

If it was a pure rental than I would go for it an allowed pets.

Currently, There is husband, wife, 2 kids and 2 pets.

If they can't make the next rental open house, we prescreen with a few questions, if they meet those prescreen questions (min credit score, 3x income, # persons, pets) we require they confirm an hour before the showing by answering ther cell phone, we tell them up front if they don't confirm the showing we won't be meeting them.
