Now subdividing those lots is a whole different animal.

Remarkably, there wasn't a single dead animal inside.

Expect to pay a small premium on the security deposit for having pets, especially if you have dogs or large animals.

@Ethan Cooke  thank you   and thank you to the rest who responded.as I am sitting here drinking my coffee I am thinking its probably not fair to the neighbors to do super short term rentals I have seen houses trashed by parties and my house has far to many nice things to even remotely risk that one.So probably either not rent it and leave it vacant or if I do take a 6 month lease at a time with a very well qualified NON smoking no animals tenant with a large deposit..

I am most concerned with smoking and animals, so I ask if anyone smokes and how many animals they have.

she listed on her lease agreement she had one small service dog,  which was OK with me until I went to the house and realized she had two dogs, untrained, so I am sure none are service animals.

For example: You can't ask for a pet deposit for a service animal. 

I understand the hesitation of animals but can guarantee through the lease that if there is any destruction or smell we will cover the cost. 

However, HOA foreclosures are a different animal.

This will give the tenant incentive to quickly get the animal out of the house.
