By not following your instructions they are violating their fiduciary responsibility of obedience.

Here we have service animals and companion animals, both of which require extensive temperament screening and quite likely obedience & special functional training.

If you can capture both a high caliber renovation finish as well as a qualified, obedient, diligent property manager, you can have a very successful low hassle property.

I do require that any renter that owns a dog (of any breed) provides me with documentation that they have been to some form of obediance class.

Obed,I like to just take the gross rents and cut them in half and take payments out of that for showing cash flow.

Meaning if I'm adding a ceiling fan to a unit that has no ceiling lights (so we have to add a switch, run some cable), or swapping out a sink/vanity, or putting in new double pane windows to replace old crappy ones --- all of which need a permit -- No, I don't pull a permit.But hey, congrats and good on you for being so obedient to the state.  

Guess if nothing else it was peace of mind that the animal had been through obedience training. 

I have a friend who separated who did and still does the same thing; she works as a dog trainer supporting general obedience training and agency/police/security canine detection work. 

To me all the school rating seems to be the obedience to authority level of the students who go there.I don't think it has much to do with length of a renter to stay put.Anyone can live anywhere they want (or they or Section-8 can afford).Forever renters (IMO) seems to stay put longer, if they have market equal housing, are treated like customers vs pests, maintenance requests are handled promptly, and rent increases do not jump too huge for them too quickly (and in some instances do not have relationship issues/breakups or are PITA Renters to the owner or other renters.A forever renter example might be Mr works retail, Mrs works waitress, kids or not, or Ms. is a hairdresser and sister Ms. is a receptionist, or Section-8 working or not.A non-long term renter might be Mr. is going through law school or is an MD in the area for residency time, or other person on a career path that typically includes home ownership.I'm not talking here about any type of protected classes here, which would be against the Fair Housing Laws, because it's important we all follow the laws.As far as the schools go:They teach you how to read and writeThey teach you how to countThey teach you how to buy and sellYour own body by the poundDon't be blind to the factThat the hand you holdIs the hand that holds you down.As I said above, to me, all the school rating  seems to be the obedience to authority level of the students who go there.It's not that I'm anti-school--it's just that they ALL could be so much better.It just seems like babysitting and jumping through useless hoops.Just my 2 cents.https://www.youtube.com/watch?
