Do the tenants have strong landlord references that show they are responsible pet owners?

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.

And let her know no pet until the lease is amended...and then support animal only.And if there are other things to amend in the lease do it! 

Going forward, have a no pet policy.

Hi Kevin,Make time for an inside lunch at a fast food, eat where you drive, and check out who comes in to eat.It will give you an idea of what the neighborhood is like.Good Luck!

The main motivation is to make enough money to put food on the table.

No excuse to not pay you , dont they have money for cigarettes cell phones alcohol eating out dog food etc .. geez it’s only been a a couple weeks and they are already planning to stiff you ?

I also let them know that the deposit is equivalent to the entire first month of rent, also,..no prior felonies or evictions in the last 5 years.....no smoking of any kind at all......and they can have 1 animal or pet, but it can't be a dangerous breed and it can't weigh over 20lbs fully grown.
