Considering they lived there for an entire year before this incident, no one can say for sure what she is allergic to. 

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.

I'm also not worried about competing against other investors, because I assume if s/he knows what s/he is doing, then our numbers will be close.I'm allergic to multiple competing offers; they make me vomit.Originally posted by nationwidepi:Originally posted by Dory:I agree and suspect Eddie and Will were talking about "longer-term, market type appreciation."

I would say I have a tenant who is seriously allergic and for his medical condition you simply can’t have animals in the building due to his condition

@Bill Hoo first you can't diy if you are allergic to cats.

I am allergic to cats so have an obvious bias and don’t allow them period their smell can do far more damage than a typical dog will do.  

No to cats here because of the horror stories and I'm highly allergic and dont want to nearly die during monthly hvac filter changes and turn over.

The basement windows won't stay in and there are no screens for them, so rodents can enter and we can't properly ventilate to discourage mold (which I'm highly allergic to).

Aside from being somewhat allergic, cat urine is some really evil stuff.

And/or market it as a great unit for people allergic to pet hair :-)
