landlords would be exempted from the ban if they provide a reason for excluding pets from their property, such as concerns over health or nuisances, so long as they can provide documentation to a rent board if a tenant pushes back."

I only charged 1/2 of the rent for a security deposit and waived the pet fee.  

I don't know, but I'm guessing perhaps there was a leak/flood and the subfloor rotted, and/or pet urine that soaked into the subfloor, and/or mold issues? 

The entire property was fenced in for pets, exterior of the home painted, and a driveway installed.

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

Essentially they're a letter the seller puts together for each tenant stating the basics - whether they have a lease (and its termination date) or if they are month to month, what they pay each month and whether they're current on those payments, whether they have a security deposit (and if so, how much), whether they have a pet (and its breed, name, & age), whether they pay extra for that pet or have a pet deposit you'll have to refund, etc.

The attorney can also then assist you with creating the following compliant with all federal, state and local laws:1) Rental Application2) Lease & Pet Addendum3) Renewal documents4) Nonpayment Warning Letters5) Eviction Letters & Notices6) Legal Entry Notices7) Security Deposit & Release of Liability Letters8) Vendor Contracts with insurance and other requirements9) MoveIn & MoveOut Procedures to Share with Tenants10) Etc.Hope this helps!

In most cases you cannot charge two different tenants for the same time period (double dip).Pet fees/pet rent: Local laws vary, but there are often addiitonal deposits, fees, or rent for allowing pets that don't qualify as service animals or emotional support animals.

I'm open to changing the listing, updating our pricing, adding amenities, or anything else that would lead to more spring and fall bookings.We allow pets, so that's been a big draw for this house.
