A normal tenant in a SFH I wouldn't think twice about denying.There sure aren't many inquiries.There's this person, a handful of people that want to move February 1 (I'm looking for January 1), or smokers (non-smoking property).Would you allow a roommate/tenant with a pet (dog) instead of this weekly payer?

Landlords can be held liable in some states if they even SHOULD have known about an aggressive pet, even if they have a no pet policy. 

You sure the little black insects were gnats and not fleas, given that they had pets living in that filth?

(I'm on a few automotive forums and spoon feeding basic info is a pet peeve of mine)@john Kilduff Thanks!!!

So I see see this as a liability for families with small children and or pets.  

I said no to pets initially and later allowed small pets.

I have a no pet policy which was on the lease.

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

Do you allow pets in this rental?
