Good think with this target market is not a lot of people are doing what I am doing so i have some flexibility and this is a great market to "cut my teeth".

I am adding a standard pet addendum and asking tenant to buy renters insurance which includes Pet damage and liability coverage.

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

A pet rat can be your partner2.

One of them violate the agreement by having a HUGE dog in the unit, while her lease says NO PETS. - lol..Thanks BP.!

Include some of that basic criteria in your rental listings  (rent to income ratio - smoking policy - pets policy)3.
