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.

Any repo, foreclosure or eviction is poison.Then Income, can they afford it.Ability to pay, then look to other aspects, criminal records, credit issues, solvency, job security, who will be there and who they are, any pets, how do they present themselves, do they seem civilized or are they idiots?

Hello BP community,Any advice regarding amount to ask for pet deposit?

But it was a little more extreme, constant stray pets, flee infestation (that was a joy) etc. 

Learned my lesson on pets early - never again!

Are banks ripping out carpet because some pet totally destroyed it and it stinks to high heaven?

We will be replacing the ductwork, as well as the subfloor and carpeting in at least one bedroom due to prior pet damage.What was the outcome?

I am thinking of renting with pet policy in place.What should I be looking for managing pet. 

As happens in most cases the conversation jumped out of the box and they came up with an off-the-wall idea of a pet rock and all the things it was good for.

Can only live in temporary quarters for so long with 2 kids, and pets.
