Let me start with we LOVE animals, just not in our rental properties 🐾

Pets should be vetted during the application process.

You can request medical files, speak with past landlords, and research the breed for average size and potential issues.

Use a pet screening service to vet your pets for you!
It’s free for landlords as the applicants pay the screening fees.

🎙️ This week on the podcast we are talking about all Fair Housing and Emotional Support Animals (ESA’s).
This episode covers how to tell if an ESA letter is real or fake, what you can do to verify the need for an ESA, which rental property owners are exempt from having to accept ESA’s, and so much more!

This is for all of you NO PET policy landlords out there! (Don’t worry, we are with ya)

If you have a tenant who has a 𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙤𝙧 with a Service or Emotional Support Animal, you must accommodate the tenant’s request to allow that visitor and said animal to visit.

Do not confuse this with restaurants and grocery stores. That is an ADA issue.

This is Fair HOUSING. ADA only applies to housing when it is the common areas, not the tenants’ private residences.

If the tenant wants their child to come over for dinner and their child wants to have their ESA with them during that visit, you must allow that animal onto the property or you violate your tenants’ rights.

It’s the tenants’ Fair Housing rights that matter!

Don’t test it. You will lose if taken to court.

Fair Housing is NO JOKE!

Whether placing an ad for a vacancy, talking to a potential tenant, or dealing with an existing tenant request regarding an ESA, be very careful.

Take the time to learn about Fair Housing. We like the courses offered through @FairHousingInstitute. Use code YLR2024 for 15% any course purchased.

🎙️ This week on the podcast, we are talking all Fair Housing and ESA’s.
Listen to what we have to say about ESA letter verifications (and how to spot a fake one), who is exempt from having to accept ESA’s in their rental properties, and mistakes many landlords make when presented with an ESA request.

Emotional Support Animals in rentals… Since bec

Emotional Support Animals in rentals…

Since becoming legally protected, these animals have been a major thorn in the side for many landlords who do not allow pets in their units and a financial loss for those who do, but now are faced with tenants calling their pets ESA’s.

𝑫𝑰𝑫 𝒀𝑶𝑼 𝑲𝑵𝑶𝑾… Som

𝑫𝑰𝑫 𝒀𝑶𝑼 𝑲𝑵𝑶𝑾…

Some states allow you to add deposits to cover extra potential damage, like for pets.

But if you call that extra security deposit what it's supposed to be used for, for instance a “pet deposit” or a “furniture deposit”, then you are limited to only being able to collect damages caused from or to those items.

By calling it an “additional deposit”, you are now allowed to use those extra funds towards ANY damages over and above what the general security deposit cannot cover.

For instance, a tenant moves out and you discover an unreported washing machine leak. You find mold is growing up the wall behind it and the floors beneath are destroyed.

You have collected a $1000 security deposit plus a $500 pet deposit for the tenants dog. But you must return that pet deposit in full and only use the $1000 security deposit towards those repairs because the dog did not cause the damages.

If that “pet deposit” was called an “additional deposit”, you could use that $500 towards any repairs, even if the pet did not cause the damage.

🎙️ This week on the podcast we are talking about all Fair Housing and Emotional Support Animals (ESA’s). This episode covers how to tell if an ESA letter is real or fake, what you can do to verify the need for an ESA, which rental property owners are exempt from having to accept ESA’s, and so much more!

𝑫𝑰𝑫 𝒀𝑶𝑼 𝑲𝑵𝑶𝑾… When

𝑫𝑰𝑫 𝒀𝑶𝑼 𝑲𝑵𝑶𝑾…
When taking a tenant to court for damages or security deposit claims, use still photos whenever you can.

𝗪𝗛𝗬? In small claims courts, the timeline for each case is brief (10-15 minutes).
The time for each side to show evidence and state their claim is approximately 3-5 minutes.

It is much simpler to submit still photos of damage than a 2-minute video of you walking through the unit or talking on video about the damage done.

If you speak on your video, the words can be leading and the whole video can be thrown out.
Let the time be used for you to show photos and speak directly to the judge on just the facts.

Have before and after photos to show comparison. This is why a move-in walk through with photos from every angle is so important.

Your lease is your primary evidence. That contract is what the judge will refer to first.

For example, if you do not allow holes in the walls or limit the number and size of the hole, WRITE IT IN THE LEASE.

Always check with the county you are filing in to know if they accept video evidence.

🎙️ This week on the podcast we are talking about all the different ways you can use your mobile phone to help you in your rental property business. Taking inspection photo’s is one of our top uses for our smartphones!
