Rental application and lease??? Advice needed

[disimilar1]

If you lease to folks with a dog be prepared to replaced any carpeting or redo the hardwood floors after they vacate.
Definately call the previous LL.

Wow. I am all for pets, but I prefer pets with a single or couple. I have had families with NO pets, and their small children destroyed the place. Broken blinds, broken built in drawers, and more… they were just really hard on the place.

On the other hand, pet owners are a bit more desperate because as noted in this thread, landlords don’t want to rent to tenants with pets.

Of the 4 different tenants that have had pets, every time the house was returned in good condition. I think it is more important to see the pet, and understand the person/s relationship with the animal. For instance, I would rather take a female with an inside dachsund, rather than a family with 2 outside Pitbulls.(nothing against Pits, they are actually wonderful, loving dogs, but many of the people that choose Pits are not so wonderful) Or a couple with a lab, rather than a couple with 2 small chihuahua dogs (they urinate constantly and are hard to housebreak). It really all depends.

I always specify…”pets on approval.”

Seems like if it is too good to be true…..

I told these people that I wanted to meet their dog and that I would do a credit check. They offered me a credit check they had “just had done”. I said no, I would run my own. They changed their mind!

We figure we dodged a bullet on that one and are moving forward more prepared and forewarned!

I have the application in hand, will definitely run credit check, and the lease ready to be filled out.

We had appointments lined up that, thankfully, I did not cancel and will probably do an open house next weekend if needed. So it should still work out and, lesson learned!

Thanks for all of your good input.

Congrats. You learned the cheap way. I wish I were so lucky the first time I played landlord.
