.- A date and time you will come to attempt to catch the stray and take it to animal control and reminder of process and rules if they want to adopt/retain the strayUnless you have proof that the babysitter is staying beyond your guest policy, there is little you can do there. 

It looks better with a coat of paint.  

The best write up I have seen on the topic is on a website called White Coat Investor.  

The thing is, insurance is only retroactively and doesn't keep you from getting vandalized.In marginal neighborhoods they'll watch you and they'll not only take water heater, heating system, plumbing (if copper), but they tear open the wall to take the wiring (which they'll later put in a little bon fire to burn off the rubber coating) to sell for copper.I would suggest for you to either get a wireless, monitored alarm system , which can be a deterrent in the first place or see if a company like this is in your area , who covers windows and doorshttp://www.vacantinvestmentprotection.com/

In fact they might drop you all together.Have the tenants provided animal coverage of their own??

I know have a huge assessment in the lease for any animal found (or food dish for outside cats) on the property with prior permission.

Do they bring along pets/animals?

I had already planned on grandfathering any animals in as it just didn't seem right to me to try to charge for that and I wouldn't ever dream of making someone choose between their home and their pet due to inability to pay the pet deposit and monthly fee.

They are the weak animal in the heard and easy pray.

Also on the pet thing, even if we do not explicitly sign-off on tenants having pets, sometimes visitors (even tenants) can bring animals in without us knowing 100% there haven't been any.Thanks for your advice,-Rick.
