But to answer you question, here are some of my criteria (Note that these are neighborhood specific, so it may be different for your neighborhood):* 600 or higher credit score preferred but not required* History of stable employment preferred* No Smoking* Combined monthly gross pay must be at least 3x monthly rent* Pets may be considered with addition rent and deposit* No prior evictions or feloniesI try not to make a list too long so I end up with one tenant inquiring.

We have a clause in our lease agreements that requires tenants to obtain a renters insurance policy and also send us a copy of the declarations page every 6 months.We don't specify limits, as the amount of coverage is largely dependent on the value of their belongings.We also require a pet rider on the policy if they have a dog in the house. 

In addition, some other addenda may apply, such as: Utility Transfer Agreement-1 page; Pet Agreement-1 page; Service Animal Agreement-1 page; No Smoking Policy-1 page (This is more in depth than what is in the core agreement, used when converting a tenanted property to no smoking or when we catch someone smoking on our property.); and other addenda from time to time specific to the property or specific to the tenant.We aim to make our rental agreements easy to read, easy for the tenant to reference, easy to file, and easy for us to use in court in the event of an eviction.

I had gone against my no pet rule and allowed them to have a rabbit.

However, I have learned from one tenant that if I allow them to have pets, then they will pay for a final pest control/flea bomb and provide me a receipt as proof.

On his application for pets he put "probably none"

my first thought would be to open up every window possible, idk if it will work but I'm pretty sure it will atlas help your situation...and google how to get smell out carpet maybe lowes or pet mart might have a special powder you could put down as well....i hope everything works out for you

I use $25/month for all of the following features: allowing pets, garage, dishwasher, and washer/dryer included.Your methods, amounts, or details may vary, but it is a framework to consider tweaking. 

Often time the filter is matted down with pet hair. 

No pets (for some properties).
