They've simplified a very important aspect of my business.

Ok,I would simplify this to say non refundable pet fee for two small pets no larger than 25 pounds each.This will eliminate every large dog you're concerned about.No need to get wordy about it.Also,charging 400 bucks for non destructive pets like a bowl of fish or full time caged birds is ridiculous.The possibility of having a problem to repair with them is too remote.Make a stipulation that all dogs and cats must be housebroken prior to entering the property.

It also simplifies the first-in first-out process to more closely resemble "first-approved".I signed up for:https://connect.experian.com/logout.htmlIt is only $15 for the tenant but provides a credit report only.

@jamesTo expand on what @Linda Weygant said about the home office deduction no longer being an audit flag, the IRS now allows a "simplified" method where you simply multiply the square footage of the office by $5 and that's your deduction.One has to think that if the IRS is offering and encouraging a simplified method of reporting, it's not going to be the cause of an audit.
