Property is Carpeted - Is not Allowing Pets Still Possible?

[Isla Arshad]

Hi friends,

I have a vacant, well-maintained carpeted property that I am marketing.
Since 70% of tenants are pet owners, I feel that I am missing out on a large market.

However, I also don't want the hassle to completely replace my carpet after a tenant with pets moves out. But I am open to it if I can use the security deposit to replace the carpet (not sure to what extent it is legal).

I was thinking of getting landlord rental protection from Zillow to cover pet costs but my premium will probably shoot up since the place is carpeted.

Would love your thoughts on this dilemma!
