I wouldn't think pet messes and chewing would be allowable.  

I once got a call because there were squirrels in the attic and one had chewed through the ceiling and fell on a tenant while she was working in the kitchen:)

I know very little about service animals, but I am sure the training includes ensuring that the animals aren't going to be destructive- the last thing a person who needs a service dog needs is an animal that is making messes in their home and chewing up walls or whatever.  

HOWEVER, they repaired a patch in the carpet that is VERY noticeable because the carpet no longer matches (although the patch itself was done well), and almost all the doorframes have a "waffly" look on bottom because they painted over but didn't sand enough or replace moldings that were clawed/chewed.

Rats will not chew through tin foil.

Might have bitten off more than I could chew for this first investment property,  but I know I won't lose any money on it. 

Great stuff to chew on.

The problem with houses that I buy are the door frames are solid old-growth wood, and the Dremel blade gets chewed up like nothing else, so it costs me probably $50/door frame in blades!

If deliveried right it sill us a hard one for most to chew on.
