Greg, for example, is very anti-pet and comments about it often.

The pre-screen idea is very good...you can make decisions about tenant quality without the tenant being able to accuse you of violating Anti-discrimination/Fair Housing rules.

. - Sounds to me like your on the verge of violating FHA anti-discrimination laws protecting race, national origin and familial status.  

I'm not sure why you're so vehemently anti-renting.

Again, a properly spec'd toilet that is an anti-clog model for $300 versus a $59.00 glacier bay from home depot solves the problem, the extra bathroom isn't the problem it's the landlord who's spec sheet is based on low priced products instead of the right products for the job.Now if your property is on a septic system I can see the issue with a disposal, not so because of the food waste issue going into the septic but because of the extra water flow of using one.For you new tile Nick I hope you are spending a little bit more for one of the new commercial grade grouts that require no sealing, and never change color, more money up front but you'll recoup it in the very first tenant turn over.

I won't say that he's never damaged anything, but it hasn't been anything that couldn't be repaired or replaced at a minimum expense (e.g. hollow core door, spackle and re-paint window sill).Based on his comments here and in other threads about pets, Greg S. clearly is anti-pet and wants his opinion to be known.  

Also, regarding bed bugs, I encourage all short stay providers to place anti bed bug liners on both box springs AND mattresses.

Do you know who also has to follow anti-discrimination laws? 

Even in CA, which has probably the most strict housing anti-discrimination laws, you can't find a lawyer to take your case on contingency - if it's a housing discrimination complaint.There are a lot of lawyers and other RE professionals who make good money with seminars about the fair housing laws.  

Here is what my standard lease that I picked up from the internet and use with my rentals:(2) Repairs that Tenant will Pay Entirely: Tenant will pay Landlord or any contractor Landlorddirects Tenant to pay the entire cost to repair:(a) a condition caused by Tenant, an occupant, a member of Tenant’s family, or a guest orinvitee of Tenant (a failure to timely report an item in need of repair or the failure toproperly maintain an item may cause damage for which Tenant may be responsible);......Appears it includes failure to timely report as a cause to make tenant pay.I also have a Maintenance Addendum that I got online that includes: Immediately notify Agent of any evidence of a water leak or excessive moisture or standing waterImmediately notify Agent of the presence of mold, mildew, or similar growth in the Premises after you have attempted to remove it using common household cleaning solutions or anti-microbial productsImmediately notify Agent of any malfunction of any part of the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing, or laundry systemsImmediately notify Agent of any inoperable doors or windowsOn looking at it now, it does not state what the remediation would be if the tenant does not adhere to this.
