Ask about pets, number of people, are they under a lease agreement at this time, are they on rental assistance and if so, do they have their voucher approved and for how much.

If I allow pets they want more or they bark figuratively speaking. 

For mid-term rentals that are houses with yards and pet friendly, what do you typically do for lawn maintenance?

Although we love pets, our STR is not designed to be most pet friendly ( white couch, lighter shade chairs, etc).

I talked to them again and they said they didn't realize it was a rooster when they got it but their kid considered it a pet and they could not get rid of it now. 

If they have pets it is nearly impossible due to pet food and water that is kept out.

If you decide to rent to them and they have 4 cats, charge a monthly pet fee for each cat - four cats adds up (even at $10 per meower that's almost $500 a year).I wouldn't consider Couple #2 - that eviction is too fresh. 

It took a few days to get the lease together because there was a little back and forth (she didn’t mention she had a dog until initial lease came through and it mentioned no pets).

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.

The main features I a missing with cozy.co is: (1) lease renewal system, (2) Automatic rent increases for multi-year leases, (3) Additional monthly rent items (i.e pet fee and parking)What are other cozy.co users planning on doing?
