@Eileen BrownGood morning Eileen,I would set a time line and maybe make some sacrifices to get what/where you need.There are many caring people looking for pets, if you need to reduce your "pack".MikeRemind me why you "Ha e to mo e back to the area for medical reasons."

I also got insurance that will allow small pets, so we can attract the tenants who want to enjoy the huge backyard and nearby dog park.

BUT you charge for pet fee and some kind of non-refundable fee for allowing pet.

Maybe a pet rock thats it . 

S1 has a cat and a pet squirrel living with him.

, “I know it says no pets, but can I bring my indoor dogs?

I approached them about the dog and said they would have to have a seperate pet addendum to have the dog and pay a pet deposit. 

Then 3 years ago they converted that shop to a Pet Crematorium & that guy is making good coin!!!

All C/D rentals are to people with less than perfect credit, minor records, pets, etc. 

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.
