I recommend title insurance especially when the title is messy because a it's a sad day when the vendee makes the final payment and finds out that not only is access only via a prescriptive easement lets say, but the vendor shares title with five siblings all of whom need to sign a deed. 

I don't see asking from first and last month very often, so don't know if there is some prescription against that here.In any case, think asking RHA and MMHA is the way to go, they have attys working with them.I just hate not taking sec deposits since if it's only rent there's not much holding a tenant in place. 

Since its residential work you should be able to submit yourself providing you are able to produce the appropriate drawings and follow the prescriptive requirements of the IRC.

I am NOT saying I have done this by the way.No smoking of any kind period, I don't care of you have a prescription card for the green stuff, you won't be doing that at my rental.No felonies, ever.No evictions, ever.

In response I asked the new tenant to provide a prescription for the dog.   

If her therapist does prescribe an animal for her, and you contact the therapist and confirm the prescription you are required to accommodate the animal, same as you would if your tenant became disabled and placed in a wheelchair.You can set the accommodation rules, where the pet can go potty, how often it is to be cleaned up, no barking to disturb neighbors, rabies shots, not under 6 months, potty trained, etc.You might want to tell the tenant that your insurance does not cover liability for certain breeds and if her therapist or she ends up with one of the breeds your insurance does not cover she will be required to find and pay for a policy to cover you before bringing the animal onto the premises. 

I have a high deductible health insurance plan, the HSA will cover my out of pocket expenses for prescription, lab fees, Doctors visits and Dental expenses.

But that is the safe harbor and not a prescriptive requirement. 

Request for prescriptions are handled more quickly with my doctor via fax.

@Vitaly Evdokimov , if she claims it is an ESA, you can ask for proof of prescription.
