Hello All;

Just would like to find out what possible creative scenarios might be in ploy across the US for student housing landlords. I have noticed over the past years many more students have pets at school. My properties have a no pet on the premises line in the leases. I'm just thinking about the pro and cons of becoming possibly more pet friendly. The student market is becoming tighter and tighter and I'm wondering is this aspect of a more pet friendly attitude could be come beneficial??

I was wondering with those property owners who are pet friendly, what do they do to secure a win-win situation?? I'm thinking an additional (higher) security deposit? Possibly a $40 pet rental /month agreement?

Those who are pet friendly, suppose the students aren't picking up the dog waste from the yard? How do you combat that?

Is there anything else you require from the pet owner?

Any and all insights those who might be pet friendly property owners  for students could pass along would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
