First time landlord, after a couple weeks on the market, agent has put forward 2 applicants.
Property is a small unit, fairly new/well appointed and in a good area with high rent. has floorboards/tiles only but small backyard.
One applicant is an early 30's professional, married, no kids with a highly paid job and very highly educated, also a landlord himself in another state. RE checked employment history, all excellent and rental history is good but is only from a friend he's staying with temporarily as he just moved from interstate.
Sounds almost perfect but... has a small dog...claims to be well trained and will keep it outdoors/in garage...appear to be very keen/honest. willing to pay extra bond/accept pet clause.
Second applicant is a younger couple with decent jobs but both are first time moving out of home, so no rental history.
Been thinking about it, still can't decide if i should risk the dog...
