Bad consumer behavior can aggravate this increase.

I'm not condoning the behavior, but one can at least understand why some contractors decide to simply ditch the project.

Personally I have no use for that kind of behavior and I would not want him renting from me and annoying the neighbors, or me.

I wish I had some ninja moves to offer you, but the only thing that comes to mind is this:  this behavior seems to be in violation of their duties per the broker license they must have, so you could find the managing broker's info and call them, and if they do not respond call the local Real Estate Commission and let them know what's going on. 

You may also want to consider including a clause in your rental agreement outlining the types of behavior that are expected of tenants, such as respecting the property and being considerate of neighbors.As for pets, it's up to you whether or not to allow them in your STR.

If you have to ask the question, your behavior probably falls into the shady category.

I just would set up a payment plan that matches the seasonable behavior.

Example of "bad-boy" behavior could be fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the borrower, gross negligence, criminal acts, etc.

Leases usually say something about breaking the law, certain unreasonable behavior, not keeping the premises in good order, a certain number of missed or late payments, etc.

In other states, like Florida, you are liable right off the bat, regardless of the dog's lack of past behavior -- the "one bite law".
