Need to meet the animal and prevent insurance  problems.My responsible animal owners have been great and stay longer. 

The more you explain upfront, the smoother things will go.

Call the city or county health department they should take care of the testing since it's a wild animal.

Animal lovers I have found show concern for the home more than non-animal people.

If yes, Goodbye.Any animals or pets? 

I love animals however, accidents happen and therefore no pets in our rentals.

But hate to open the whole 'service animal' issue 

I even had some that got jobs as lawyers and continued to stay for several more years after graduation.If you can market directly to the grad students, then you can avoid the undergrads, which are horrible high-maintenance noisy party-animals - except the undergrad engineering students, in my experience.Grad students are smart, resourceful, and reasonable to deal with in my experience for the most part.  

that the comps you found are a whole different animal, as they are located in a 55+ community with HOA and other fees that is not the case with this house.I just hope you don't decline/buy a deal with such due diligence Thanks again and i apologize if i am to blunt but this nothing personal all business :) 

The carpet is odor-stained with animal urine and needs to be replaced.
