monicapharm, thanks for your reply. Very much appreicated.
you'd better find someone who does not have dogs. if his dogs hurt your neighbours. you may need to take responsibility for the injury. because you are suppose to kick him out if he dose not control his dogs properly.
if his dogs barking to your neighbours and scary them. they can also sue you instead of your tenants. because you are the owner of the house. you are suppose to kick them out. if they refuse to move out. here comes trouble!
Thanks all for your inputs here. " D, t6 U: w' p) } , w. x, y3 X* K2 m0 tAnything else should I keep in mind on screening potential tenents in general?, I: `2 C$ t& z% X

I visite some houses last year and I found that if the owner does not clean their dog or cat very offen. The smell is very strong and hard to get rid of it, so I will not buy a house if there is animal smell.
