Nobody ever tells me that their pitbull has excellent manners, or has had obedience training, or earned a CGC (Canine Good Citizen Certificate)

There are three ways to broker a deal:Transaction brokerage--which is the defaultSingle agency--which requires the most duties including fiduciary duties, confidentiality, obedience, AND loyaltyNo brokerage...which mean they work with a buyer or seller as a non-representative...which only requires dealing honestly and fairly, accounting for all funds, and disclosing all known material facts that affect the property which are not readily observable. 

If you are being represented by the agent, the agent has certain fiduciary obligations to you (like obedience, disclosure, etc).

I also repeat it verbally when we are going over the lease together.My last tenant was obedient and smoked outside all the time, but mainly because he was worried I'd take his whole deposit, which was close to $3000.If there is no law prohibiting discrimination against smokers, then you should be allowed to collect more than usual for security deposit.
