My initial instinct was to write up the pet addendum, assign a pet deposit and pet rent and remind the tenant they are supposed to get written approval before purchasing a pet.

The going rate locally ranges from $1600-2100/mo, depending on time of year and if I choose to allow pets.

I keep my rent under market rent by a little and make them all pet friendly with no extra pet fees.

First inspection for new voucher holders is after 6 months, and it is every other year thereafter; 4) generally, good amount of applicants, and relatively easy to rent out (really depends on the property and location)Negative: 1) tenant quality is the No Uno pet peeve.

For one of my 3/2 houses, a DEEP clean (w/o pets) is around $300-$400, and they clean top to bottom. 

That will not only hide the repaired crack but make the stairs less likely for people or pets to slip on. 

If it's a high-traffic backyard with pets and kids, they will chew up new grass in no time.

I did also include a pet addendum and mold addendum standard here in Florida.  

This will parrot much of what was already stated, but my landlord includes our water bill in the monthly rent.

Although I'll add this...it gives the LL a great opportunity to get into the unit and make sure everything is ok....no pets, no extra renters, etc.
