I have a pet in my rental and so far it’s been good. 

I basically told her that my late fees were to offset my costs of any legal processes I need to begin for non-payment, and that I would have no choice to send out another 3-day notice on the 9th if there is no payment.She responded with what I can only call a "litany of sarcasm" - about how she appreciates how understanding I am and "way to undermine your tenants' attempt to make rent" , she resents jhaving to pay installments on pet fee for cats she's had for years, etc. 

Hi all,Most of the landlords in my area have blanket no pet policies, which are rarely negotiable.

We're animal friendly so if someone's working late or away we'll take care of each others pets, we have dinners at each others units every few months, etc.

She also doesn't not buy houses with fenced back yard to avoid pet owners wanting to rent.

I also think when people become financially able and more in tune with their investments they unfortunately are already tied down to other "obligations" and are further along in their personal lives...kids,pets,boats, etc., those along with other things can make living in a duplex seem unrealistic if your accustom to your 3 stall garage and man cave basement.That being said, if I was smarter and had given more thought to my financial future when I was 25 I would have house hacked several times over.

We are allowing people with pets to apply just incase we get an outstanding tennant that just happens to have a dog or cat, but I would prefer to have a tennant without pets.  

Bottom floor tenant has been with the property for at least 4 years, although there are things I'll need to address with the tenants eventually (pets, storage, in-unit washers), I don't want to come in with guns blazing.

If I accept the pets they will pay $75 Pet Fee and $25 additional rent. 

The fish eye lens has to be my biggest pet peeve in looking at photos on the MLS.
