I charge a higher rent and get a higher rent because I am lenient with pets.

The point, the screening of tenants didn't allow it to be filled because of several factors like pets (sorry I just don't allow them from previous experiences that I stand by), a potential tenant wanting to pay a smaller amount now for a few months and then the price I set, and other potential tenants that I have no idea why they didn't choose to rent.If the area you are looking at is highly rentable then it's one less thing to think on.

Domestic hot water, and; Electricity adequate for lighting and any mechanical equipment within the home.

Non-smokers, no pets, income 3 times the rent, and clean background.

Would like something around 1000.No kids, No pets, is single.  

The second floor apartment was larger, but kept very messy; i.e. pet hair everywhere, spilled food, and the very heavy scent of unwashed clothing/bedding and cat spray (the tenants had 3+ cats in there).

In our area it is tough to get more than a month's rent for a deposit, especially in some low end markets, unless there are pets involved.

Not really, best to see what the cops will do under domestic violence matters and sounds like she might go there, if she got a restraining order, she already has and most likely has an attorney or legal assistance.

I have never met the actual tenant.This is what I have from the broker that is assisting with my tenant placement for this property.Background check results: none foundCredit: No credit score, no debtEvictions: NoneIdentity: Confirmed, valid SS#Income: VerifiedNo pets, only one occupant

For example, you place the ad and start getting calls and I always ask these questions:- When are you moving- Do you have any pets coming with you- Do you make 3X the rent and have verifiable rental historyYou will weed most out at that point if they do not match your rental criteria.
