I suspect in most states accepting a payment would nix and eviction.

@Austin LemmaYou do not have any leverage but as others mentioned if you stick to your guns over time they may accept your price.

Accept a lower price due to the increased risk of the tenant 2.

If it is not behaved such that you would not accept it as a pet, reject it.  

@Clint Miller I’ve gotten my best deals over the holidays including my first where we made an offer on a property and gave them 10 days to decide whether they were going to accept it or not which included all the holidays and the holiday week which was slamming with business for this property.

I accept them and mitigate the risk by (a) screening the animals, (b) having a solid set of rules that are quickly and fairly enforced, (c) regular inspections, especially for cat units, and (d) charging a monthly pet fee.Let's say I have five single-family homes.

I put in an offer in a house after talk to the sellers agent she set the terms, we accepted all the terms them she add that the “seller” would not pay for the buyer commission (My wife is my agent, somehow she found out that).She asked for full price, no inspection, no contingencies?

For whatever reason my  agent seems to think that my offer won’t get accepted cause “most buyer prefer and will chose non VA” Idfk.

If accepted, I have my inspector inspect the property and provide me a report on the state of all systems and structural. then I use this report to build my scope of work and know what repairs need to be made. then I type out this list and solicit bids from 2-3 contractors/GCs/ handymen depending on the nature of the rehab.

Each tenant would have to accept responsibility and be trained.
