Carpet can easily get stain and will smell over time especially if the tenant has children, pets or eats in the carpeted rooms. 

Pets?

No "guest" pets or pet-sitting of any kind for any length of stay.   

I've found that have a small yard and allowing pets increases your application pool.

The house is mostly turnkey, with the seller having installed new carpet.However, I've heard concerning stories about tenants and their pets damaging carpets, even if pets weren't permitted per the lease. 

If it's a 2bd and they are talking about 3 adults living there I know something is fishyDo you have any animals or pets?

Los Angeles City here~Our 3 bedroom 2 bath, fully gated, pet friendly, flexible lease term, located in Sherman Oaks 91403 near Galleria is coming to market for rent in July 1st.

I'm not sure about California but in Delaware we have to put security and pet deposits into an escrow account (separate from all other accounts)

Quote from @Jess Keller:  Unfortunately your sign doesn't actually do anything to prevent excessive noise, parking problems, fireworks, property maintenance, trash, pets, unpredictable neighborhoods or anything else related...I am for allowing STRs in mixed used zones and against allowing them in residential zones.

 tenant intiially voiced they wanted to stay at least 4 years due to the school district before signing. we are almost through year one with them, and will need to restructure our lease in a few months. they have been fine tenants.i was thinking about incentivizing it, but want some expert opinions. they currently pay 2795 a month, but a total of 2863 with the property mangement fees( pet and "convenience" fees) but we are getting rid of our property mangement company and doing it ourselves. trying to think of the best way to pitch thisso what i was thinking was:2863 for 3 years ( it would stay flat for 3 years)2925 for 2 years (flat for 2)2975 for 1 yearthoughts?
