A *true* service animal should be incredibly well behaved.

Thanks for all the interesting replies, a good conversation to be having I'd say.

I do believe, though, that if you are screening well and not settling for red-flag tenants, then you'll get good tenants who have well-behaved pets and clean up after them.

Many cities (at least older, Rust Belt ones) have some sort of cost-share program for public works projects like these, where the direct benefit is likely to be enjoyed by the residents of the building adjacent to whatever's being fixed, so they (or you, as the case may be) have to kick in.As for why your property taxes don't pay for it, you'd have to look at the tax bill you get in Columbus to see how things are allocated.

Basically, only the licensed professionals must behave.

How do you explain it to the tenants that if they kept their house clean they probably wouldn't be having all of these issues?

A property manager should behave like someone who provides you the service and respect your decision as he is hired by you. 

This post was extremely helpful especially since some of these are places that I've reached out to and will be having conversations with.I'm curious about how you're doing your DD on properties offered by Turnkey companies.

This might indicate they don't like to move and may stay awhile, but again, rentals are different, and you don't have any trend data to see how they might behave as a renter. 

You can require her to pick up the poop, you can require her to have a dog that is well behaved at all times - she isn't allowed to have Cujo run off all your other tenants.Having a no pet policy means you don't allow pets.
