Hello,

I would like to know what are the disadvantages of renting to someone having pets.My family loves pets but we don't have any pets.

I found a prospective tenant who has a dog,

What are some major disadvantages of having tenants with dogs?are there any ways we can overcome them or is it we just have to know the risks and live with it? Appreciate your inputs.

Thanks

@Peter Morgan When it comes to renting with pets, there always be some negatives such as - damage to your apartment, disturbance to your neighbors, pet odors, etc. But I still think that there are several positives to permitting pets in your rental properties, as long as you have a good pet policy in place. Pet owners will understand that they have to pay a higher price to accommodate their pets; whether it is a pet deposit, pet fees or pet rent.
