Quote from @Shelly Rike Mitchell: Any ESA pet you cannot charge a pet fee or a security deposit for an ESA pet.

I allow pets as long as I meet the pet before move in.

We were able to negotiate a significant discount on the price because there is a significant pet odor throughout the house.

Seems like about half the population has pets these days, so by NOT allowing them, you are cutting potential bookings by half - maybe more, since a pet owner is more likely to go STR versus hotel.

As a broker, my biggest pet peeves are hard money lenders circumventing to my clients, not being upfront about fees, asking for a commitment fee prior to issuing loan docs, and "matching" my broker fees, even though I underwrote the file, got the client, and did all of the processing work. 

I suspect it has eliminated virtually all tenant applications from tenants with bogus ESAs.for ESAs, I have much stricter rules in my non-pet units (which have no private yard).  

It’s part of a $3 billion, five-year commitment to boost domestic manufacturing.Companies make moves like this for simple reasons: power reliability, logistics, costs, incentives, and a workforce that knows how to build.

The Results:100% - AT A MINIMUM, "Flexible" cancellation is being promoted and strict cancellations are being punished.POSSIBLE - Listings that accept Pets without fees are ALSO promoted.I had 4 properties to test with.Thinking like Airbnb, I guessed the things that would make the user have the best experience is to be able to cancel and bring pets.

Tenants tell me about lease prep fees deducted from security deposits, annual financial suitability reviews with an added fee, yearly tenant insurance checks with an added fee, pet registration fees (separate from pet rent or pet deposits), annual inspections charged to tenants and other small add-ons that feel like nickel & diming.Are margins really so tight that landlords have to manufacture revenue through these junk fees?

Allow pets (this may increase amount of people interested)?
