Since Chow, Terrier, and Boxer are all on the list I have compiled of dogs to avoid/prohibit, I'm guessing it is likely such types of dogs are uncovered under my insurance policy.  

Character flaw I guess. 

Remember SmartMove may not uncover all the red flags in a tenant's background.

Personally, I like those windows to be uncovered because it allows the sun to come into the whole house.

Collect any fees due and sign the lease if you haven't already.Give them a move in check in sheet(s) so they can note the condition and any flaws in the apartment.  

I ask because this might help you uncover how much you stand to recover in court and whether its worth your time, no matter how unjust the position of having long turnover and repair costs.

My takeaway at the time was that the bankruptcy was in the past and resolved, so I was surprised to see it was so recent.However, they said nothing about a prior eviction (they said they left their apartment after losing the job), nor the criminal record, even though the application has space to disclose anything negative that a background check might uncover.

I am also well versed in landlord tenant law to the point that I have corrected real estate attorneys on a few occasions.The problem is that I am in the legally flawed state of Massachusetts which lacks a rent escrow law and has a sanitary code that is easy for a "professional" tenant to abuse legally.

Tell me what my investigation will uncover and empower me (not you) to decide whether I can deal with it but anything you hide and my investigation discovers will automatically disqualify you.Many of these people are struggling to make it.

Does anyone see a flaw in this arrangement or have advice?
