I recently relocated with my wife and our pets to the Columbus, Ohio fleeing the grey skies of the Pacific Northwest in an effort to be closer to our families.

It's unfortunate that many applicants are hiding behind ESA to avoid pet fees. 

We are turning over an apartment that was pet friendly - both dog and cat.

Check what you need to do in your state regarding pet fee/pet rent I know it's different in different places.

I know she worked with section 8, the VA and some agencies that provided temp. housing for victims of domestic violence.

Although there are no tax advantages to giving stays to be auctioned, we DO get to support a favored charity without cost, we DO get to expose our PET FRIENDLY property to folks who: A) love Lake Tahoe enough to bid on a stay, B) have the money to win a charity auction, and C) love animals enough to appreciate a pet friendly property - maybe returning as guests. 

If your insurance company doesn't allow them then it doesn't allow them, unfortunately.If one of our owners is ok with the pet in the home, we require $300k in insurance liability coverage from the tenant with our company and the owner listed as additionally insured.

Two days ago the dog bit my husband when he reached out to pet it.

The animal is not a pet.

We also are very stringent on who our tenants are (no pets/smoke/etc.), and we have each unit professionally cleaned once a month or once every two months.
