Fair housing-  due your research on accepting service animals, even if you say no pets. 

Now, what if I make pets welcome..With one click - I just eliminated half the competition.

With all that research I developed a plan:5 steps:1 - Write your ad:  "Credit check required, landlord and professional references required, no pets, no smoking, no exceptions" - this will self-eliminate most of the weak ones.2 - The phone call: Ask open-ended questions and stay dead silent until they are done talking.

Pet fees would be added, also at $50/pet per month.

Here are a few I can think of:Make sure you have right of entry and inspections No other occupantsNo pets unless discussedmust keep on utilities at all timesmust change A/c filter monthly unless you are doing soMake sure you have a late fee policyNo additions or alterations to the propertyMust maintain renters insurance

Los Angeles City here~Our 3 bedroom 2 bath, fully gated, pet friendly, flexible lease term, located in Sherman Oaks 91403 near Galleria is coming to market for rent in July 1st.

@Joe Splitrock My interest rates on the loans I would be paying off are 8%.While I know this is not what you meant about the tax write off, you have hit on a bit of a pet peeve of mine. 

If they have pets, I'd make it mandatoryI allow dogs and it's good to have to cover yourself

The advantage I instantly see is fewer dog owners will want to rent that space;) Even though I am a dog lover I hate pets in my units.

I also do not charge a pet deposit or pet rent because I believe our animals are family.
