Best thing that I have done is to charge a monthly pet fee and then put in lots on language in the lease stating that they have to have the ductwork and any carpets professionally cleaned at the end of the lease showing a receipt from a 3rd party explaining the next tenant may be allergic to pets.

Based on her comments and reactions when touring the property, I think she balked at the idea of the required documentation but also on the prohibitions on smoking and not using the garage as living quarters.

Thank you all for the input.To be honest, I was a little unsure of how to respond to said listing agent’s reaction and that is why I pointed out that, yes, I do appreciate the concern if in fact that was the case, however, that being said, none of us would appreciate being ruled out of an offer simply based on our gender.It is really wrong to make an assumption that someone is not qualified to buy from you, just based on gender alone.It is for this reason that the Fair Housing Act came into place and what saddens me is that the only way he agreed to a showing was after my buyer’s agent pointed out my military background.I served in the United States Army and it is sad that, my agent needed to bring this up to try to win me a showing.My agent tried to convince this listing agent that if I can handle being in the military and seeing what I saw, living in the “supposed” bad neighborhood was the least of my worries, and it is.I know what I can handle and it just saddens me when people presume just based on my gender that I need something “softer, more secure” or else, I will fail.In the military, my MOS was 62 Bravo, heavy equipment mechanic.I am by no means fragile and incapable of taking care of myself and it is truly sad when a listing agent feels the need to bring up my gender as a pre-qualification for showing a property!

My guess is you're severely overextended and your reaction is coming from a place of fear...
