I installed vinyl flooring and charge them $50 a pet a month. I get $100 a month from some current tenants...

I’ve only got a couple of rentals, but I haven’t had trouble finding pet free tenants.

Aren’t you just asking for someone to move in and claim their animal is an ESA animal?

I hate people.

I'd want to see a medical prescription. And a HUGE cleaning deposit.

Nope. No pets. Actually - I think we allowed a fish once. That was it.

Eddie

No.

7/16/19 6:02pm

Do most of you use a property manager?

I don't. But I just have the one unit in my basement.

Eddie

Absolutely no pets or kids.

Kids? Pretty sure that’s illegal.

TCuz

7/16/19 6:26pm

There are HOA's that don't allow kids. Is that illegal too?

Eddie

7/16/19 6:28pm

I think there’s exceptions for retirement communities.

TCuz

Yes it is illegal unless it is complies with HOPA

It would also be legal if it falls under one of the FHA exceptions, such as

No pets. Can't charge enough to cover the damage.

So what are you gonna do when your tenants just go ESA on you?

TCuz

7/16/19 10:02pm

It depends on what you're a landlord of. If you're renting out your basement

LilToney

7/16/19 10:17pm

Thanks!

TCuz

ESA would have to be allowed.
