Pets allowed vs. No pets policy

[Adrienne G.]

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering what you landlords are deciding when it comes to the pets vs. no pets policy, and why you decided on it? I'm looking into buying a long term multifamily house with 2-3 units as my first investment. The stock of properties here are 1880s to 1930s.

If you allow pets, are you collecting additional pet fees monthly? If so, how much would be reasonable?

There's also an option for pet deposit fees.

Have you seen property damage with pets?

Thanks!!
