One of my major screening criteria is you must have the deposit and first month's rent plus pet deposit within 48 hours of acceptance. 

For example, I mention that every adult must pay a $30 application fee, pass my credit/criminal background, make a combined income of 3x the rent, and whether or not the property accepts pets.

Space for pets and a large lot, 2 car garage, well built home, we could live in it for a year and rent it out after How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

It is difficult to maintain, it scratches, it warps, it stains, it needs to be cleaned with cleaners made for wood floors, pets tear it up, it transfers noise, it shows wear patterns, etc. 

If your lease says they can't add a pet or move in a family of four without your permission, you need to know how to enforce that.

Consider 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.

Biggest driver for vacancy for us is being pet friendly.

Tell them it's mandatory.Make sure you are named as additional insured to protect your interests but also if they let the policy lapse you will get a little post card in the mail from Lexus Nexus or a similar company saying the policy is lapsed or canceled.For those that allow pets - have them get a renters policy that does not have a dog bite or dog breed exclusion.

I know that I can not deny an ESA for a tenant, but can I deny their guests from bringing ESA animals when they visit or stay overnight?
