Opinions: Pets in Rental Properties

[Tommy Nguyen]

Hello BiggerPockets community,

I am asking everyone's opinion regarding pets in their rental properties. I am a pet person myself, however, I am unsure if I'll allow pets in my rental properties due to untrained pets, which results in further damage and maintenance. If you do allow pets in your rentals, what are your policies and fees to mitigate "damage"? Also, what is your general experience concerning tenants with pets? Thanks!

Best,

Tommy Nguyen
