It is a 40 year old single male who will be moving and has no pets.

Tenant agrees to keep Property reasonably clean and orderly and that any pets permitted on the Property shall not be allowed to obstruct nor interfere with any showing of the Property for rent or sale.

The deals we are finding are the ones where are able to add value through rehab, management, adding pet rents, garage rental, creative income sources such as vending, internet, short term rentals, etc. 

Like a pet addendum, but spookier.

That pet rent should have been coming to me, no?

So i am 2 for 2 on pets when the least says no pets.  

Also....you absolutely can screen the tenants....you are not "forced" to take anyone.To help mitigate the risk of having potential tenants that are "a little rough around the edges I make sure of the following.No Smokers, Period....not even vapers or cigarsNo Drug Users PeriodNO Previous Evictions from within the last 10 yearsNo felonies No pets, period.I have Section 8 tenants in Cuyahoga County (Cleveland), Alameda County (Oakland, CA) and Contra Costa County (Concord, CA).....and it works.

Check the lease, does it have a pet clause in it?

The carpet is perfect ( we don’t have pets and don’t wear shoes in the house) and im a clean freak and will clean that house very well before we leave.

I'm a former military officer and ran into a similar issue with one of my soldiers (he had pet ferrets running around loose in his trailer and practiced amateur chainsaw sculpting on logs inside).You want to get in touch with his company commander or even better his First Sergeant.
