I have seriously considered this also, but I just don't want to get sucked back into the drama until I am more stable myself.There are low income people that work hard.

My point being that legit claims for a companion animal don't normally cause drama.  

Now, this is a generalization, of course, but as a former vet tech, turned high wage earner, with 3 large dogs, who ALSO happens to be renting right now due to a recent job transfer...I am a landlord's DREAM as far as stability, care of the property, and no-drama is concerned...but most people's pet policies would have kept me in ghettos if it weren't for word of mouth rental opportunities.

When the drama exceeds the rewards, a polite letter indicating termination of services is all you need.

Can lead to drama, instability, reconciliation resulting in vacancy etc.

With all of the drama in her life, I couldn't see anyone keeping her.

They will argue over deposit, rent, and everything in-between and expect you to get involved in their drama.  

That will just involve you in their drama, agreement, yatta yatta, and create a new precedent that will be a pain in your rear.People who agree to rent somewhere without covered parking, live with poop and leaves and tree drippings.  

So, remember that the first answer is "no," or at least "I'll have to think about that and get back to you," if you don't know the answer or aren't sure what to do.And remember that pretty much any time you say "yes" to a weird request, it will mean more work, drama or money for you.

Either way you'll be sparing both of you much unnecessary drama.
