in the past had problems w/ “pets” and other tenants being kept up at night because of dogs barking along w/ an incident (long ago) of tenants having an allergic reaction to cats,… this is why I don’t allow furry friends in my rentals
just wondering if anyone know of a lawyer or a basic legal form whereby the tenant (w/ the service animal) takes full financial responsibility for any issues that might come up???
nothing you can do but to doc their deposit with special cleaning in the case of cats, which will nearly be impossible to get fully clean to someone alleric to cats like me.
theres a reason why you shouldnt bother to advertise “no pets” in a rental anymore..
Because if someone has a dog or cat, they can sign a lease from you first, and then the day they move in , serve you with a doctors note that they have an ESA dog or cat, and then there is NOTHING you can do about it… including charging an extra pet deposit or take more rent…. at which point, you are fvcked….. and its easy to get any shrink to write an ESA note for you for some $$$$. just google for it and their are shrinks that charge a fee for writing you an ESA note…
thats why you should just not advertise “no pets” and that way if someone has a pet, they are much more likely to disclose upfront and then you can collect an extra deposit or higher rent….
