If you are talking about pet urination damage, or some other water damage that can be deemed tenant abuse, require your tenants to have renter's insurance.

This 'removable' smell would be better I would think than cat urine.  

what about stains and smells from pet urine?

Ive got so I tell them up front if they leave and the place is clean but still stinks of pet urine then they lose the whole deposit.

My concerns:1) My condo has always been treated with pesticides over the years, I am worried his dog maybe allergic to the pesticides used in the apartment. 2) Accidents do happen and the pet may release herself  on the floor, I have very basic laminate floors and I am worried the whole apartment will smell like pet urine one day.3) My insurance policy has a pet exclusion clause, so maybe that is another sign to say NO to the tenant with pet?    

Landlord is stating there are some pet urine in the carpet padding with no possible evidence. 

Does not matter we had $15k worth of damage mostly to the cat and dog urine and feces all over our 2,546 sq foot home EVERY inch!!

And do not use pads - it soaks up the urine from pets or other spills.And a lot of it depends on what type of subfloor, what used to be there (are there nail sticks in place?
