I also ask about the pet size limit since it seems most people have dogs to bring with.

Kid could watch all these old pets that they didn't take with when they moved out!

Sure, a property owner could ban alcohol, smoking, pets, pools, trampolines, candles, non-working cars, and so on.

Though I'm not charging us a pet fee for my dog and it's unlikely I'll keep any of our security deposit on the way out... ;-)The other bright side to this is that the place will be rented as of May 1 (by us) and we'll be able to schedule the next tenants to move in ASAP after we move out (i.e., shouldn't have any issues with showings or make-ready repairs).I'll write more if/when this is official...

Doubtful that there would be any Federal agents rooting around in your attic, but if somehow your tenant's or a neighbor's pet (or child) were to ingest some and die, you could be in trouble were they to trace it back to you.

In all my leases I add a $25 per dog or cat pet-rent on top of a non-refundable pet deposit.
