Did you know that, per the American Veterinary Medical Association, 63% of all households in America have a pet? According to the Humane Society, 49.4% of all renters have pets and 20% of those with pets have the pets without the landlord’s knowledge and consent.
Allowing pets on a case-by-case basis not only doubles the potential tenant base, it also gives the owner more control over which pet(s) will occupy the property.
For these reasons, we encourage our clients to allow pets on a case-by-case basis with an additional refundable pet deposit based on the property and the details about the animal, such as breed, size, age, and number of the animal(s).
