The fish eye lens has to be my biggest pet peeve in looking at photos on the MLS. 

We're animal friendly so if someone's working late or away we'll take care of each others pets, we have dinners at each others units every few months, etc.

If I accept the pets they will pay $75 Pet Fee and $25 additional rent. 

When I moved into my apt. in 4/14 I had two dogs and the complex had a two pet policy at the time.

We are allowing people with pets to apply just incase we get an outstanding tennant that just happens to have a dog or cat, but I would prefer to have a tennant without pets.  

I basically told her that my late fees were to offset my costs of any legal processes I need to begin for non-payment, and that I would have no choice to send out another 3-day notice on the 9th if there is no payment.She responded with what I can only call a "litany of sarcasm" - about how she appreciates how understanding I am and "way to undermine your tenants' attempt to make rent" , she resents jhaving to pay installments on pet fee for cats she's had for years, etc. 

Hi all,Most of the landlords in my area have blanket no pet policies, which are rarely negotiable.

Responsible pet owners also have a vet for their pet, proper shots and spay/neuter.

Kevin - Be sure to add fees and remedies in the lease just like you would for late pays, unauthorized pets, etc.

Insurance services, eviction protection, skip protection, bed bug/mold protection, loss of rents, pet damage protection, entity structuring and asset protection (from a consulting standpoint), renters insurance, tenant liability insurance, maintenance services to tenants and other PM's, tenant placement guarantees, "enhanced" monthly reporting, setting up entities, bank accounts, eins for foreign owners, utility management, etc.Take anything that is standard in your market and see how you can kick it up a notch.
