Maybe borrow some snakes from a local pet store and let them loose on your property as well.

While u may think ur neighbors are loving ur pet, it seems like one of them may have tipped off the mgr about ur dog.

No pets nothing.

You do not have to pay for the modifications.As for service dogs they are not treated as pets, keep that in mind.Regarding the lease, I always go over the lease step by step with my tenants anyway.

(We learned a lot of other things too, like doing credit checks, no pets, don't live 45 minutes from your properties, etc. ) So for me that means a 30 year loan.

Any other pet peeves in a purchase process to walk away from even if it means losing earnest money?

Also, tenant in the top unit has a dog which is not allowed without written consent and there is none or a pet deposit that I can tell.

My question is whether or not forms like a pet addendum, rental application, carbon monoxide/smoke detector acknowledgement etc. are state specific - I know the residential lease is subject to certain state regulations and will be asking an attorney about it.

Here are a couple of links that you should consider since you want to make this a housekeeping matter:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/8826...http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/1087...But my concern would be the extent of ALREADY existing damage in that hoarder unit, especially when you mention that the tenant has pets.

@Robin Secord I've been trying to find something worthwhile in the Boston Edison district myself but those look like some serious pet projects.
