The tenant has been a dream tenant - has kept the house in great shape, lives there alone w/no pets.

I can enforce a pet policy, but what about a policy to keep outdoor area clean?

Now where the problem starts for them is they have pets. 3 cats and a 25lbs Chihuahua/pug mix.

I have had only 1 tenant that "thrashed" the place, her dogs loved to dig up the back yard, and she literally asked if she needed more than the $1,200 security and $400 pet deposits I was keeping.

The previous owner passed away and willed the home to paws Atlanta a local pet adoption.

It can take up to 4 months to get this process done and if you prepare ahead of time, it might save you being away from your pet.If you want to ship your pet to Hawaii from the mainland, you’ll also need to have your pet given a good bill of health from your local veterinarian.

The lease agreement allowed pets.  

If your going to allow pets, maybe carpeting is not the best answer.

They messed the railing up on the wall and also seen scratch marks on the one cabinet so they must have had a pet.

For example, you are at the property to collect the coins from the laundry machines, notice a tenant walking in an unauthorized pet.
