Usually, they just want that and will stop, but there are always some outliers and sometimes it is our fault and our job is to respond and correct and accept the review.Your second point is fair too.

You can also just accept certain kinds of pets, breeds, or sizes as a third option.

Matt,I believe I initially misread your post, please accept my apologies!

Name’s Korinne and I’m so excited to be accepted into the BiggerPockets family!  

It was a test, sounds like not a successful one.

The no is a test to see how they will take it and respond, whether they will listen.

Landlords can enter a tenant's property for a variety of reasons, including: Making repairs or replacements Responding to a tenant's request Removing unauthorized window coverings Preventing waste of utilities Changing filters, testing, or replacing smoke detector batteries Inspections Helping with an emergency inside the unit Posting a notice of eviction"Research your state laws because some of your comments indicate a lack of understanding of the landlord/tenant laws where you are operating (like threatening the tenants to keep the security deposit if they don't respond to you, I doubt that is actually a valid reason to keep their deposit, or evicting for late payments, or charging the tenants for your warranty repairs because you missed your 11 month inspection window which was your responsibility, and it looks like your lease says you can charge up to 18% interest for unpaid fees, is that actually legal?).

My 2 cents is right there with the other guy, get into something on your own first to test the waters and know what it’s like to actually buy and do some work.

Let the tenants know you are doing this, so they can hopefully not use water while you're testing things.

They will only accept if roof is torn off and redone.
