It’s a big issue trying to upgrade units with tenants in place especially if they have pets that will be disturbed or have an increased opportunity to escape while contractors are going in and out of the units.

But who are the top dogs.. its the closers..

Took one booking, the tenants broke contract by bringing a pet (dog hair and a bone were left behind), and Landing was not exactly pleasant to deal with in recouping security for extra cleaning and damages (dog used the ceiling fan remote as a chew toy). 

For example, I mention that every adult must pay a $30 application fee, pass my credit/criminal background, make a combined income of 3x the rent, and whether or not the property accepts pets.

I would also make sure to add addenda regarding pets and furnishings, and make sure of course that any HOAs allow flexible leasing.

.--- The tenants just won't cooperate:Yes, you can try to get in with a Legal Entry, but then they can easily sabotage the showing by:----- Being rude----- Keeping the house dirty (or worse)----- They can keep an aggressive dog in the house when they are not there----- They can deliberately leave an unattended minor alone in the houseYour current PMC should be taking the time to address and explain all this to you!

Were there any pets?

One time we had guests that brought a dog (against policy), tried to sneak it in but got caught on outside cameras, provided a bogus emotional support certificate they downloaded on the internet after the fact, left the house a wreck and then left a bad revenge review after we reported them to the platform.

Is it just not my worry what their income is since the voucher covers the rent, or is my concern that if they only have about $950/month then they won’t properly be able to maintain their pets and their standard of living valid?

If you make this investment, not only are you going to lose all your money, you're gonna get dandruff, your dog is gonna die and your daughter is gonna run off with some biker dude!"
