And yes, some landlords even charge extra rent for the privilege of owning a pet; say an extra $15 to $25 a month for this (we don't..yet).For a long time we didn't change any pet fee to tenants who own pets as I've always had pets and did volunteer work in greyhound rescue. 

(hint, it's all about future values, both rent wise and appreciation wise.)That's why the market is so competitive in LA for 2-4's...The future value of a property or rent will not rescue you from a foreclosure if the present rental income is insufficient to cover the present mortgage and expenses and you do not have sufficient extra funds to cater to the deficiency.

They are no longer living there but the previous critters that were there (animal rescues as well as mice, moths and termites) all but paid rent to take over the place.
