As a pet project I was compiling a list of fair vs unfair landlord states.

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.

They're inexpensive, there's less competition for them, there's strong demand for them as LTRs because there isn't as much supply, lower repair/rehab costs, and there's typically less wear and tear because you don't have as many folks applying with multiple kids, pets, etc.

Typically, you'll have charges like: an application fee, first months rent, security deposit, and an additional fee or deposit if you allow pets. 

I don't allow pets and I'm pretty sure they had a donkey.  

I personally charge the tenant a non-refundable pet deposit on top of the security deposit: $300 for the first pet, and $200 for any additional pets.

Some are customizable; but will have the standard questions you'd expect to see.This can include employment, income, pets vs. no pets, vehicles, expected move in date, etc.

We filled up the rooms in one swift move with very nice people and their pets.
