Can I rent if I have a pet?

Can I rent if I have a pet?

Most people these days own pets which means finding pet friendly rental accommodation is not always easy.  Finding a Landlord who will accept pets is a challenge, particularly if the property is an apartment or unit.  It may also be that the Landlord has had a previous negative experience with animals and believes that the pet will cause damage to the property including flea infestations and soiled carpets.  There are several ways in which you can enhance your chances of securing a property with a pet.

 

  1. Ask the question!  Does the property allow pets? Don’t be discouraged but just remember to respect the answer.
  2. Offer more rent.  A few extra dollars may persuade the Landlord.
  3. Pet references.  Create a reference with Vet checks, vaccinations, de-sexing certificates etc
  4. Produce records.  Include your pets vaccination certificates, vet receipts etc which shows the health of your pet.  Making the effort will remind the Landlord/agent that you are a caring pet owner/renter.

Presenting information about you and your pet will have more of an impact if you provide a Pet Resume.  This may include a de-sexing certificate, vaccination certificate, any dog training certificates and most importantly written references from past Landlords.  Offer to sign a pet agreement clearly defining the behaviour and responsibilities appropriate to the rental premises.  You perhaps may even suggest that your future Landlord meets your pet to prove that they are responsibly cared for and are obedient.
