Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

As you know, that 9 month lease is also key in the Boston market so that the unit will be ready for a 9/1 tenant.Your cat experience begs the question if it's every worth renting to a tenant with pets in a hot market like Boston?

Wrote a thorough review which inspired guesty to refund the 1k+ 'onboarding fee', and they had to beg me to take my money back and remove the review, then they tried to take a % of all my future sales that had ever been listed on their platform... had to repeat the process, got that money back, and never removed the purely honest but devastating review on them.Then I found smart BNB, automated nearly 90% of my communications, including upcharges for pets and early checkins... just about everything... their software is a dream for STRs.   

That said the lack of consistency is a huge pet peeve of mine as well.

It was not a pet. 

County government loves pet projects for donors. 

Reason: No pets, good credit, longevity.

I remember researching EB-5 visas for the owner of a prior company, as he was trying to build a pet project corporate retreat/hotel/ranch. 

i think the litmus test is where your pet is!
