Just because NYC is a whole different animal when it comes to finding deals.

Deposits must be refundable; fees are money in your pocket.I charge a monthly fee based on the type of animal, propensity of the animal type/breed to cause damage, and size.

Cat hair on everything ..I see why ppl don't like renting to ppl with animals.

This is useless information.What a landlord can actual require is notification from the tenants MEDICAL PROVIDER of the need for an emotional support animal. 

ESA = emotional support animal 

In theory I could purchase, attempt to rent out with just a few coats of paint, and sell for a profit if I didn't like the numbers. 

Letters from social worker and MD were provided, both with vague language around the service the dogs provide.CT specific resources use singular (animal, not animals) language.

I currently have a tenant with an Emotional Support Animal. 

It said in a fuzzy way the tenants have to prove their animal is a real animal. 

Tenant has to update the record every year.Once the applicant is approved - whether pet or ESA - I have them sign an "Animal Addendum" that spells out their responsibilities for keeping the animal under control, cleaning up after it, repairing damages, etc.
