@J Scott  Agreed, but another factor to consider is that those same contractors who can afford to extend credit have also resolved a lot of the other issues (involving both personal and business processes) that might cause delays unnecessarily.

@Sam Leon - of course before terminating tenancy, a notice to quit the offending behavior would be required.Here are some ideas for you to consider:--------------------->% cut here %<---------------------Tenant desires to keep the following described pet in the dwelling they occupy under the Rental Agreement referred to above.Type of Animal: ________ Breed: ________Age: ________Gender: ________Name: ________Weight: ________Color / Markings: ________Tenant has completed a Pet Application and has been granted permission by Landlord to keep the pet specified and Tenant agrees to the following terms and conditions.1) Tenant agrees that Tenant is solely responsible for the maintenance of the above described pet, and agrees to keep the pet under control at all times.2) Tenant agrees to keep Tenant’s pet restrained when it is outside Tenant’s dwelling.3) Tenant agrees to adhere to local ordinances, including leash and licensing requirements.4) Tenant agrees not to leave Tenant’s pet unattended for unreasonable periods.5) Tenant agrees to clean up after Tenant’s pet and to dispose of the pet's waste properly and quickly.6) Tenant agrees not to leave food or water for Tenant’s pet or any other animal outside Tenant’s dwelling where it may attract other animals.7) Tenant agrees to keep Tenant’s pet from being unnecessarily noisy or aggressive and causing any annoyance or discomfort to others, and agrees to immediately remedy any complaints made through the Landlord / Manager / Owner upon Tenant being informed of these complaints.8) Tenant agrees to provide Tenant’s pet with an identification tag that the pet will wear at all times while on the premises, except when medical well-being of the pet indicates that it is necessary to leave it off of the pet.9) Tenant agrees not to breed or allow the pet to reproduce, but if this should occur, the pet’s offspring will be placed within twelve weeks of birth.10) Tenant agrees to immediately pay for any damage, loss, or expense caused by their pet, and in addition, they will add $ 0 (zero) to their security/cleaning deposit, which may be used for cleaning, repairs or delinquent rent when tenant vacate.

Automatic/electronic deposits are pretty convenient, but at least in my state of CA, they can be risky due to our eviction laws - so I'd say defer to someone who is familiar with your state's tenancy laws to make sure that you're not exposing yourself to risk unnecessarily however you choose to handle it.

You/they SHOULD turn off breakers to stove, water heater, and possibly AC, and make sure there is nothing else operating that will waste power unnecessarily.

@Ken LatchersHi KenYour response is unnecessarily harsh to a reasonable question which has generated a generally productive discussion.

That being said, don't put yourself at risk, unnecessarily. 

"MARIJUANA AND OTHER DRUGS: Tenant shall not be permitted to, and shall not permit any family, visiting friends, dependents, guests, licensees or invitees of Tenant to grow, produce, possess, consume, use, smoke, or ingest any marijuana, cannibas or any products or ingestibles containing marijuana or cannibas in any location in, on or about the Premises; the foregoing prohibition to be absolute and without exception and shall include any growing, production, possession, use or consumption pursuant to any medical use or medical prescription, or any medical, retail or recreational marijuana activities that may otherwise be permitted under any local, state or federal laws, rules or regulations now or hereafter in effect.

Please don’t unnecessarily scare people. 

Most tenants are reasonable and do not text me unnecessarily. 

I like to incentivize good tenants to stay, not piss them off unnecessarily with oddball fees that most other PMs aren’t charging.
