No "pet" deposit or fee can be taken as it is NOT a pet...

What happens if a child accidentally damages/ a cord or a pet bites it, fire starts etc....

We are still fairly new to this- we've had two turnovers- one was very easy (next tenants moved in the same day, we didn't even have a chance to shampoo carpets for them) and the second, well, due to smoking, cigarette burns in carpet, and cat pee, among other small damages and missing things, the total bill exceeds the security deposit and pet fee.

Same idea for pets...

I see a ton of people that self diagnose off the internet or via relative or friend and then I see the pet and they are so far off base it makes me laugh...... skin has a limited response pattern, so lots of skin disease can look very similar to each other....they need to see a professional.... if you are lucky you will eliminate bed bugs off the list of causes just via a medical exam.... that's step one......Your side is to make the investment to have the home inspected....and I would probably do that no matter what... the inspection shouldn't be that costly and if nothing else it will protect you if it were ever to escalate to some legal issues...you did you due diligence to address the concern etcIf the inspection does reveal bed bugs, I would highly recommend you research various treatments and costs....some of the prices I have heard quoted are ridiculous.

Which has Berber carpet or however it's spelledVinyl/laminate would be so much easier to maintain with pets.

Should I allow pets in my rental property?

The vet wouldn't provide a letter saying the pets got sick from the mice.

I'm just saying I rent to people,  no pets, that qualify by income and credit and criminal. 

No Pets alloweda.
