It is in terrible condition from having loads of cats and dogs ( needs all new flooring) but the electric is old as well and starting to have problems.

Is there a maximum monthly pet rent that I can charge in Sacramento, CA. 

@Ann BakerIf that tenant has no pets, then the lease covers no pets are allowed for visitors, dog sitting etc.

I would work like a dog on the house and then try to rent it on airbnb.

And, you'd probably be worse off.Don't let the tax tail wag the dog.

The biggest thing here (and I assume many places) is pets.

Basic questions include - full name, who all moving in, where do you live now, what's your current rent, why are you moving, any pets, when are you looking to move, what's your job (and those moving in) and income, credit score. then use cozy to background and credit check

At least that would keep you out of the dog house if you have a solution when you tell your wife. 

Assuming the tenants are month to month with no written lease, you may want to get them on a written lease (even if it is still month to month) so you have something written and you know exactly who lives there and is responsible for what (heat electric etc) also you can forbid smoking (of any kind) and forbid pets, assign parking (if there is any)Assuming no written lease or MTM agreement, what you do is send them a notice you are terminating the tenancy (if you send it out in March it will end it at the end of April) Then you say if they would like to renew the tenancy they need to fill out an application and sign a new lease (even if month to month) and this is what the new rent will be and raise it on both at least to $900 on the 2 bedroom and maybe $50 on the one bedroom).
