Engaged with two kids and a dogs.

Say you planned to raise chickens or have 5 dogs and it wasn't permitted...

2BR/1BA not as desirable as 3BR/2BA: Storage and multiple living spaces are appealing.Garage, large yard, and allowing pets attractive for many tenants: I added non-refundable pet deposits and increased rent per pet.Renting in fall/winter is a challenge: I experienced one month vacancy (standard to expect 5% vacancy).Prioritized tenant selection: Tenants (Denver landlords themselves) are clean & pay on time.Decided not to allow marijuana to minimize liability: reduced some interest.

There's a lot of people that rather visit a property that they are already familiar with (many photos, more photos, more Photos, The name of the neighbor's dog, more photos) and anything that a prospective buyer will find out later on, even if you didn't tell them.

No pets permitted, per the lease, and we just don't allow them in any of our rentals.It's come to our attention, that they have a dog, and to make matters crazier, we received a hand written letter from the tenants 10yr old daughter, demanding we allow pets.  

I have 4 kids, 4 dogs and a big house to keep up on. 

One of my pet peeves with NEWBIES.   

It was a very dated home where the cats and dogs had definitely marked their territory inside the house.

She had no dog food. 

Recent property manager encouraged me to have pets and they rented to someone with a dog and cat and when I asked for pet rent they told me they keep it.
