Whatever, I refuse them.
Last night I had a dream that one of my tenants had a cougar in their apartment and was using it in some sort of religeious/health related nutcake healing ritual.
When I found it out I was having a great dilemma as to how to handle it without getting attacked by the cat. Finally I said I think you are going to have to get rid of this cat, but I'll have to think it over first to be sure. My plan was to call authorities as soon as I got out of that place.
I woke up before it went any further.
I think I may have been watching too many Danerous pets shows on Animal PLanet lately.

Wow Tom! Are you turning conservative on us or something?
I believe that a property owner should be allowed to deny rental to anyone based on whatever criteria they wish. If as the property owner, you say no pets and make it clear from the get go, then that's what it means. No one puts a gun to their head and forces them to obey your rules. They agree to them before hand. If they violate them you have all the right in the world to put them on the street.
This, of course, goes both ways. If as property owner you violate something in the agreement like maybe agreeing to maintain the plumbing or something, then you have to be held to what you agreed to.
