Even worse are insurance companies that don't care which dogs your tenant have because they apply an exclusion to animal liability claims.

Things that are impacting the cost other than the commercial space could be:1. age of building2. when the systems were updated3. condition of the property (stair railings, cracked foundation or sidewalks, boarded windows, trash in yard, etc.)4. animals on property5. loss history of the property6. flat roof We are based in CT and I find huge variances in the rates on the multi-families depending on the property conditions and updates.

OK, when you say "HAP contract" that is a totally different animal from Sec 8 vouchers (which I suspect you're talking about).See what the local rules are on rent increases and when term is up send a rent increase (following notice and delivery rules).  

Our clients do use it for coat segregation, improvements, tracking repair request, STR, LTR, Flips, Syndication. 

I'm a nerd, I'm really into anime, video games, manga (Otaku), reading books, I love listening to other people talk about money and investing.

I will never rent to animal owners again. 300 dollars was the pet deposit; cleanup was 1890.We are heading to court because: "Two of us moved out; we didn't know those who stayed weren't paying."

If you screen the tenant properly, you shouldn't have problems with the animal.

For example, prior HOA had limit of 2 adults / BR ...with all the ESA's , you should probably include the number of animals /BR also.So important to plan ahead to manage the potential issues before they escalate.Glad you asked the question; I'll stay tuned for reply from other members.Stay well/safe, EFH

Cleveland Heights is a whole separate animal.

Going pet friendly is a great strategy as long as you can get over the idea that there might be an animal mess in your cabin (this is just an investment after all...not your personal home).
