Remove pet odors2.

I allow pets in my units and any damage caused by pets is considered above and beyond normal wear and tear.  

I'd also love advice on marketing the unit, as well as any "gotcha" items I may want to include in the lease - such as itemizing penalties or consequences for disallowed pets, extra residents, maintenance and notifying me of problems or issues, inspections and frequency, etc.

Combine that with Craigslist, rentometer and local property manager sites that advertise rentals in your market.In my market most owners don't allow pets.
