That is like giving your dog a T bone steak after it craps on the carpet .

We had an lady and her daughter scheduled to do the move in walk through and receive the keys  and is now asking to break the lease because her dog was hit by a car today and can no longer walk up the stairs to the residence.

The tub is great to wash dogs in etc. 

I've also charged 15% on low value mobile homes or land, owners want me there each showing, want 48 hours notice to move dogs, priced higher than worth, back of park so no visability, they want to question every word of my description and choose what pictures go in what order.

As CA continues to reward bad behavior, and fails to punish for "petty" crimes, businesses have no choice but to raise prices for everyone to pay.

Is it worth going through the advertising/tenant swap out just to avoid our otherwise ideal tenants having a dog?

On a personal note, I am a dog owner and my dog provides emotional support to the entire family.

I have been able to avoid trouble tenants in the past through the normal mechanisms, but had my first real problem guest this week.I'll save you the gory details, but essentially the tenant showed up with a dog, lied about taking it to a pet hotel, and kept it in the unit while they were inside. 

I’ve heard these dogs to be sort of protective, of their families, & territory.

Non-payment of rent is easy to prove and the most common, while criminal/destructive behavior takes more documentation and can be harder to prove.4.
