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.

Anything else should I keep in mind on screening potential tenents in general?
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!

find someone who has decent job. engineers, doctors, nurses, etc.
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.

如果你不住在这个房子里面,你应该跟你的保险公司讲,在coverage方面做相应的调整,告诉他们你是要把房子整个出租。5 v- `7 S2 Q, u- [; }2 L: K& S
2,因为你的租客要养狗,那你一定要他买tenant insurance,只有这样,liability的方面才有保障(比方说他的狗咬人了,等等)。. E+ [, j K' |5 V* G3 \6 v. }
