They create far less wear and tear than kids or pets will.

Single-pane windows, original doors, stained carpet that may hold pet odor, walls are dirty, blinds broken, floors not swept, etc.

Never paid her entire deposit, owes late fees, had unauthorized pet, did not take care of appliances and sink drains, called police on my husband for being in the shed that only we use and she knew he was going to be there. 

You will be held liable for any smoke-related damage within the rental.No PetsPets are not allowed without written approval from the landlord and are subject to additional fees/Pet Rent.

Arizona is near the top of my domestic travel destinations.

I would also advise since it is a domestic dispute look at the laws for lease termination in the case of a domestic, in some states they may differ.

Set policies, put them in writing, commit them to memory, and do not waive them:All adults must pass your screening;Nobody moves in without proof utility accounts are established, rent and deposit are paid in full;Rent is due on or before the 1st, period.Late fee is applied on day X, period.3-day Notice to Pay or Quit is filed on day X, period.Eviction filing (forcible entry and detainer) is filed on day X, period.Be prepared to handle lease violations (unauthorized pets or tenants, vehicle parked on lawn, not mowing grass, etc.)A little education and preparation will go a long way.

Would love to share with you our personal app - my husband built a personal finances tracker app as a pet project for us (hellofin.app) and it sends me a text every time money goes in or out of our accounts, and we can add a tag to it (like "christmas gifts" rather than the generic bank terms "shopping").

Are you limiting yourself by not renting to people with pets?

The crime reports are things like petty theft, domestic disturbance type things.
