Would you rent to a renter with four dogs
We closed a single family house last month. The house is move-in ready with fresh carpets. One potential renter contacted us that she is selling her house which closes Dec 31. She is looking for a 6-month lease and she has four dogs. Would you rent to a four-dog owner? My husband said we can kiss the carpets good-bye. But on the other hand, rental in winter is a tough business. 6-month will take us to June when it is much easier to find quality tenants. We are working with an agent/property manager to list our property on mls., which means we will lose two-month rent for listing alone, after the 6-month lease expires.
