For example contractor qoutes you 30k for renovations with a deposit of 10k.

The tenants must have a strong application and a landlord reference with the cat, pay a larger deposit and higher rent, and they are inspected more often.Nothing will stop the odor.

Consider 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.

I just want to make sure that I am able to fully validate all of the financials and not on the hook/forfeit my deposit if the numbers do not match what's being advertised. 

Prior to anyone submitting an application ensure you share your rental criteria clearly ( i.e. credit score, your preference on acceptance of rental collections, evictions, felonies, misdemeanors, pets etc. ) as well as sharing any additional charges ( i.e. monthly pet rent, pet deposit(s), security deposits, admin fees etc. ) people unqualified will usually "walk" as this stage and that is where you will save time. 3.

Typically lenders would request 2 months of rental receipt + bank statement showing the tenant paying the 2 months of rent to the landlord OR 1 months of rent + security deposit if the lease just started.

I offered to add the 2 dogs to the existing lease for a refundable deposit of one months rent. 

In addition to trash and some other problems I'm wondering if the theft is enough to keep the deposit.

She found a house, i paid the usual fees (pet deposit, security deposit, first month rent.)

Can the 3 weeks in lost rent be taken out of the old tenant's security deposit or would we need to seek for those damages separately in court?
