I have a rental advertised currently and have indicated 'pets are negotiable' . Generally as a rule of thumb I am fine with 1 or 2 cats but have found with experience over the years dogs can be quite a problem despite what their owners may inform you how very nice their doggie is.
"Does it bark when you go out?". "Not that we know of " comes the standard reply. Based on that premise and a couple of others you warrant acceptance and write into the tenancy agreement conditions that apply. Right after they move in, the neighbours are ringing you to let you know the dog is barking all day long while your new tenants are at work. Uhmm?
What I am finding now is that over half the applicants to my newly listed rental are doggie owners.
I'm interested to know two things from other landlords reading this 'Have you noticed a large increase in tenants with dogs in their applications' and 'Would you accept dogs into your rentals and if so have you had issues? `
