I already know when going into a place that if it smells like candles, febreeze or ozone, that there is probably weed, cigarettes, or pets that was there before.

I told her I wanted $600.00 a month and s $600.00 security deposit and no pets allowed, and she said that was fine.

you: well, sir, have you been out to the forrest and walked around in the nice clean air for a while, and then come back home and really smell what your pets have done to this place?

I got into real estate immediately out of college and have been full time since 1992.My previous jobs were when I was a teenager and typical kid jobs - working at a pet store, working on a horse farm cleaning stalls, etc.

This seems like an excellent market to get your feet wet and sink your teeth in.

We've rejected people for all sorts of reasons other than credit (showing up more than 15 minutes late to the showing appointment, having a messy car, not enough income, having a pet dog, having a past eviction, etc.).I'd recommend researching what is required in your state and city.

You're a grownup, after all, not a small child or a pet.  

In our area it is tough to get more than a month's rent for a deposit, especially in some low end markets, unless there are pets involved.

Being required by law to fill out a seller's disclosure and then being held liable for the information contained therein would set a dishonest seller's teeth on edge.

Your friends will be scared to come over and you will find yourself living with someone who has no teeth.
