How to enforce no pets policy?

Question

How can I enforce no pets policy when I lease my property? I found good tenants but I afraid they will bring a dog after we start the lease

David Lee Hall, III · Answer

Inspections and a lease that includes a hefty animal deposit, monthly pet rent, and upon discovery of a non approved animal will result in the deposit, a penalty equal to the deposit, and monthly rent to the beginning of the lease for the pet.

A clear lease, inspections, and fines for violations.

As Benjamin said, an increasing number of tenants are simply skirting the lease by claiming their pet as an ESA. It's so easy, anyone can do it.

Your best option is to allow pets up front and figure out how to screen animals and monetize them.

I would communicate this to them and also clearly state this in their lease agreement.
