I keep a fresh ad on Craigs List every day. Here is the disclosure I put at the bottom of the ad:
New for 2020. All houses have indoor plumbing and an outdoor cat*. Feel free to take outdoor cat* home with you when your work is done here. Really, I mean it. Take the cat* with you.
DISCLOSURE: *Outdoor cat may be substituted by stray dog, rabbit, squirrel, flock of pigeons, coyote**, bobcat** or fox**. Coyote**, bobcat** or fox** only at apartments, not at houses. Good luck taking one of these home with you.
What do you think? I've taken people to houses after they read the ad. Sometimes there is a cat in the yard or on the porch and they point at it and say "Hey! There's the outdoor cat!"

Paul, my disclosure isn't as humorous as yours. It contains COVID-19 restrictions:
"COVID-19 NOTICE: Until further notice we cannot accept bookings from guests living in New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut per Executive Order 20-82 & the Okaloosa County Safe Reopening Plan for Short Term Rentals.

LOLOLOL!!! Didn鈥檛 you mean Arizona, Florida, and Texas? Or is your county really concerned about visitors from the part of the US with the lowest rates of coronavirus? 馃槅

Hi Mark,
The high number of cases in FL that you are hearing about on the news is in the more southern counties of the state around Miami/Dade, Broward & Orlando counties. Up in the Panhandle where our properties are located the number of cases is a very small amount compared to them.
What can I say? We have to abide by the Governor's executive orders and the Reopen plan submitted by our county.

We are based in Orlando and have added a number of restrictions and disclosures to our Rental Agreement which guests must sign. We enforce occupancy limits for each home, for total number of people in the house at any given point in time, including visitors who are not staying overnight. Doing everything we can to avoid parties in the homes.
We have also deployed CDC cleaning and disinfection standards as well as guidelines for guests staying in the homes. These are reinforced in our listings, confirmation email, guestbook and even signs in the home.

Also, @Valerie Rogers just a small note of clarification. Orange County, where Orlando is located has the highest number of Covid cases. Orange County actually has very few (legal) vacation rentals. Osceola and Polk Counties, where the vast number of vacation rentals are located, currently have far lower rates and the rentals are typically pool homes spread apart from each other in quiet neighborhoods. All eyes are on Disney, which reopened last Saturday with extremely rigorous safety measures. Reports were very positive from park goers.Fingers crossed all will continue to go well.
