A lot of my applicants want to know If I accept pets, and the answer is always NO!

Also, I just found out they have pets and the property has a strict no pet policy.

I certainly see the benefit to taking photos of the car, prescreening, scheduling multiple showings, having a quick way to call for help, having an attack pet poodle, etc.  

for the past couple months while working on my fixer, on the sidelines had been dealing with alot of stray cats on the property (its a huge lot for the area) and 'catching' the feral cats and taking them to the shelte...

Appliances included, garage, and pets allowed is preferable.

Some cities even have their own laws .Then, even if there are no local and/or state laws, check with your insurance company.One piece of advice, if you do allow dogs (or pets of any kind) and you decide to make them pay more in a deposit do not have a separate security and pet deposit, if your state/city will allow that.

Plus, we get larger sq ft and small fenced back yard for our dog (probably why our rent was so high -- we had to pay pet deposits and pet rent).

On another note I didnt like taking pets, but now I personally like having pets in my rental, as they can pay higher rents and not many places take pets so the tenants are happy to be accepted and will try to take care of the place because they know the market for places allowing pets is a lot harder.

Someone could have 10 pets for all I care.

Not too legal, so, it is a definite work in progress, a pet project of sorts.
