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

@Sandra GutierrezI’ve done many rehabs with “pet odors”.

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

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 require they clean up after their pet immediately (versus with private yard, I dictate daily).  

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.

The standard pet fees and any applicable lease violation penalties will apply if Resident(s) are found not to be in compliance with ESA Certification requirements as follows: ESA Certification requires diagnosis from a local health professional.

eg no flushable wet wipes, pet rules etc Looking to put together my first rules and regulations 

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

Someone posted recently they believed Airbnb's algo changed to promote flexible cancellation policies (and pet-friendly properties) more greatly.
