Hello Biggerpockets,
A prospective tenant reached out to me for an apartment in my FL building. They have a service dog (Bulldog) and asked if that would be an issue. We do not allow dogs at this property, thus my ...
I love dogs and have always had them, but I totally get the reservation about having them in a rental when you can't be there to see that they are well behaved. I'm curious to learn more about what BP has experienced ...

I'm considering allowing pets (dogs only) at one of our listings to beef up the bookings and increase revenue (I hope). I've always been anti pets because I've seen what they can do and have cleaned up quite a few bac...

I'd appreciate any input here. I'm under contract for a rental house where the next door neighbor (a renter) owns a large dog. The fence between the 2 backyards is low enough for the dog to jump over, which I saw it d...

I have a dilema. A potential renter has a pit bull and I'm a little nervous. What is my liability if I allow pets, and her dog bites someone? The unique thing is she is a Sheriff's deputy and has better credit tha...
