Re: Thinking about renting 4 month of march 2009
Donna, I understand. Was just teasing you a little. If I rented, I think I'd allow smokers so long as I could be assured it was outdoor smoking only. I haven't smoked in my home for almost 15 years now. Heck, I feel guilty smoking on a lanai.
The no pet policy I understand perfectly. Again, if I did rent to pets (and that includes birds, sorry, Andrea), I would require a hefty non-refundable pet deposit and use it to have my furniture and carpeting professionally cleaned after (and the cleaners better move furniture!). As much as I love critters, I do understand the messes the make. Dogs and cats shed all over. You never know how well housebroken the dog is. Cats have to sharpen claws on something. Birds toss food all over and if allowed to fly free, droppings happen. Okay, I wouldn't have an issue with snakes, hamsters, guinea pigs and gerbils. Rabbits chew too much, especially wires.
