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.

Pool Heat, Early check in/late check out, Pet Fees, etc etc are all ala cart and available for a fee. 

If the units are more updated rents of $1400-$1600+ are very obtainable.Here's the breakdown of the rents I have at my two duplexes in NW Berwyn:Property #1 - 2 bed/1 bath unit rented for $1415 ($100/mo for two garage parking spaces included plus a monthly pet fee); 3 bed/1 bath unit for $1530 (bedrooms all on the smaller side).

Do I allow pets?

I've seen first hand how during the 2020 NorCal wildfire season and the 2021 Pacific Heat Dome (when temps reached 116 degrees) how people and pets flocked to the Oregon Coast for relief that was 30-40 degrees cooler. 

The new tenant has a dog, which I decided to allow and had them sign a Pet Agreement.

For their upcoming renewal, I would like to draw up a brand-new lease and add an updated pet policy so they will know my rules if I give written permission (they have asked us to consider a dog- which current lease says no pets, but considered case-by-case). 

Hello folks in Georgia / Atlanta,The Bigger Pockets Book On Rental Property Investing provides access to a comprehensive list of 34 forms that would be useful to a landlord including things like a lease agreement, application, late rent notice, move-in-move-out agreement, estoppel agreement, tenant phone questionnaire, pet addendum, etc. etc. etc.  

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.

We are going to allow pets, so we did nothing but several good coats of wax on the hardwoods.
