Thanks John, I will have to chew on the definitions a bit more to get them logged into the coconut.

I assume the "powers that be" that created the laws figured that no one under 7 years old is taller then 5', so they can't chew on the door frame up that high.

ps. there are some primers out that would be able to really chew into the enamel paint, maybe like a shellac based or specialty primer BUT I would just go ahead and remove all I could to save for future headaches. 

This is what I commonly see from inexperienced landlords:Overscreening - if you have a class C property, you aren't going to get an 820 credit score with 3x the rent, and if you do you'll have chewed up 3+ months vacancy to find them.

Unless the thing is in a crate the whole time it's inside, the puppy will pee and chew on whatever is accessible.

@Jennifer Gardner It's also worth considering that potential property damage could vary widely from $0 in damages to thousands depending on the size, energy level, and behavior of the dog...dogs come in as many varieties as people, and there are some great potential pup tenants, but also some nightmares waiting to happen...A 10 lb inactive lap dog that does nothing but nap, never runs indoors, and is well-behaved may not cause any damage at all...on the other hand, an 80 lb bruiser with Tesla-like levels of energy who runs indoors constantly, is aggressive, and chews up everything could cost you big bills and expose you to big liability....

So if a bidder, bit off more than he could chew and won tax liens but didn't pay for them, they will show up on the City's updated list at the end of the month, but they will not be on the list I have been working with.

It chewed EVERY piece of trim / door / base in the whole house.

Make sure tenant understands that a big dog breaking the fence, chewing thru the fence or digging under the fence is not normal wear and tear.

They never cause trouble" directly translates to "I have a german shepherd and a bulldog and they will F up your floors and chew the door frames".
