But he has a dog, and I'd probably want to end up having him go as I don't want to allow pets.

my biggest pet peeve with my handyman is that he is messy and doesn't clean up well...washed his paint brushes so much in the bath tub in one unit that it clogged the cast iron..to be fair the pipes were on their last months anyways, but now i specify to use the hose outside....most handymen will leave a mess until the last day, and then be pissed when they have to clean it up..it's better to just clean up your little messes every day..definitely let him know he is responsible for cleaning before he leaves every day...also, my handyman likes me to buy all items, as he never has money...this is good bc i am not getting upcharged for his services of going to the store...then again, everytime he needs an extra gallon of paint, or even one little fitting for pex, he calls me while i'm at work and can't do the job until i get him the piece....I WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN...for now on, it will be worth it to me to pay a little extra for their services of gathering all materials, and i will get quotes for materials and labor..but that depends on how busy you are i suppose...also i like to specify that they can get paid on Wednesdays, per job they have fully completed...i will not run out there on a friday night bc he needs money and finished a job..going in, they know wednesday is pay day for them for the work that has been completed so far..let me know if you have any questions, as i have worked with a few shady people!!

This kit had the credit app/move-in/move out forms/pet policy, lease plus other forms.

Or perhaps do you have a pet?

While I don't discriminate, obviously, kids can be as bad as pets in my experience.Commercial property appraises, finances and is insured differently.  

Your most likley tennants will be a family with children and possibly pets.

Fire officials say a dryer is likely to blame for the blaze that claimed the lives of the family pets."

My insurance covers up to $5,000 in pet damage and $10,000 for bed bugs.

Here's what Denver is doing these days, from what I can tell in craigslist . . . .I am seeing fairly consistently either a non-refundable pet deposit (in addition to the full security deposit) of amount between $200 - 400, or pet rent of $25 - 50/mo/pet OR I'm seeing they want both.  

Go to a office supply store and get a generic lease, or have an attorney draw one up for you. along with addendum's for pets, crime free/ drug free, lead, security deposit agreement.After you look at some lease samples you'll have a better idea of what is best for your property and you, so your in compliance with state laws.
