, we raise rent whenever we have new tenants (about 7-10%; based on other comps in area) and raise only slightly at each renewal period thereafter (about 3% annually).Basics: 3/2/2; 1265sqft; fenced yard; they cover all utilities; we pay for lawn care (mostly so as to not have to deal with HOA); pets welcomed (we charge a fee upfront plus small amount of pet rent - per pet).We also do not have breed restrictions (our insurance does not restrict; but we do require an interview with dog) which is what has kept us afloat for so long (and with 0% vacancy!).

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

Give some free rent for 2-weeks...become pet friendly....pro photos....more  extensive descriptions.

I did a little research and found out that I can not collect a pet deposit because technically it's not a pet.

At the lease signing, you will need to put down another $x (not including pet fees), which will serve as your first month’s rent.

I use a pet addendum, I say something along the lines.

Other people will have a short lease and then a ton of addendums attached for pets, no smoking, late payment penalties, 3 strike policy, parking policy, and so on.
