There are dishonest people in all facets of life.

Since you already have a cat, I'd suggest considering how to prevent your cat from creating disputes--for instance, keeping the cat in a part of the house where the tenants aren't staying, putting the litterbox somewhere the tenants don't see, etc.  ...basically, minimizing the potential impact of your cat on the housemates...In a nutshell, all the potential problems and liabilities a pet brings are not worth the small additional pet fee you might be able to charge.I should point out that I have a dog, and he's my best bud--I'm a huge fan of pets--so, I definitely understand why a tenant might want a pet...but, I'm operating a business, and I have to do what makes business sense; and tenants with pets just don't make much business sense in my experience.Good luck out there!

So you agree this was dishonest of him and is not a good fit?

In either case, here's the key - disclose your position clearly, do a good job, don't seek any dishonest gain.

D grade and your dealing with evictions and higher vacancy because no one who can live somewhere else will live there.In Baltimore there is a lot of dishonest turnkey providers selling stuff in the 200k range that seems somewhat close to the inner harbor. 

They've very dishonest...but put on a good show and seem very professional...scammers.

(not always the case with the majority of tenants, but California and local laws allow dishonest people to do so).  

Another sign of dishonest behavior is when a listing agent states "potential income" instead of real current income. 

What stops me behaving dishonestly?

Note: I am highly aware, there are many who try to be dishonest in paying taxes etc., I understand the IRS deals with many of those, however like most things in life, because of that, those trying to do the right thing, get penalized.
