I meant $50.. I charge $50 because like I tell prospective tenants, I don't really want pets but if they are small I would make an exception maybe for the deposit and extra per month...  plus it's new carpet and they always seem to understand

I do nonrefundable $200 cleaning fee and $25 per pet that covers most of the carpet should a pet mess it up.. well at least helps defray the coat of new carpet.. I would be happy putting new carpet in every year or 2 for a couple hundred bucks to keep the place looking spiffy

buy the neighborhood!

thanks fellow Ohioan. I get the idea from that aspect but is that a procedure you do with your renters especially over in the Cleveland area??

Just curious who here collects first and last month's rent plus deposit when getting a new tenant? My curiosity is can you evict after missing rent for one month when you techniquely have anoher months rent? Where I have my rentals the judge is pretty fair I hear but Def leans towards tenants even if the law states the obvious sometimes he does what he wants ... What are you reasons for it the double rent? IE your standard practice or for questionable tenants or have you been burnt too many times by tenants.  I wonder if this is the practice how hard it is to get a renter as alot if tenants would have that much disposable cash from my experience, but of course I could be wrong

Ryan, Curtis.. I will take the time to check them out next time I need some A/C work..   Fairview Heating seemed to go a nice job and they seemed knowledgeable... Time will tell if I find anything less than I would like!

Thank you for your time Ericka. That's a great read I appreciate it!

Thank you as well Nancy I wonder if my cell phone (Verizon) can duplicate ate a feature such as that....? Excellent advice I appreciate it.

Thank you I sure will. I have been lurking here for a while just like I'm sure many are here very busy so I haven't did much else yet bit will do more due diligence and fill out my info..

Thanks again for taking the time.

I live about 30 minutes from my 5(hopefully alot more in the future) single family homes and I receive alot of phone calls on homes. 

I am curious as t what qualifiers anyone here might ask a potential tenant before making the trek out to a place. IE stable job 2 yrs,  no felonies, bankrupcies, evictions etc... Thanks in advance!
