Seems more like a personal pet peeve than a real problem.

When you do your renewal, I think it would be worthwhile to review the important points you want to get across: no pets, no smoking, pay rent on time or consequences would be X, take good care of the house, you will respond in x amount of time for repair requests.

Otherwise you may be asked to pay for their temporary lodging.If you allow pets and their dog bites someone - do you want your landlord liability to pay for that persons injuries?

Think of 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.

After done renovations / repairs / maintenance on many many properties, I kind of know the price range of each job like painting, flooring, drywall, plumbing, electrical, AC, pest control, remove odor from old pet urine, mold remediation, cabinets, countertop, backsplash, appliances etc etc in my mind.

Question for the experts: is there any reason to not accept prepaid utilities and monthly pet fee?

Our policy is no pets, are we required under the Fair Housing Act to rent to him?
