As a dog owner I know the challenges of finding an apt. My dog is cleaner and better behaved then most people and I don't think I should be covered with a blanket judgement just bc you don't like dog hair. In regards to health concerns for children check out the link above. Hello fellow dog owner. No pets allowed. I find this pretty sad. Once you spend 6k on repairing a place with no recourse, you might feel otherwise.
Again, this is from an owners perspective only. Dear Aubrey, It sounds like you have enough on your hands if your daughter is fatally ill.
I hope she will experience true friendships with humans who would love her during her short time on earth.
I love dogs and have had them or have had neighbors with them, but am overwhelmed by the sheer number of dogs in many cities and suburbs. It appears lots of someones are making money selling puppies and dog food. Many owners do not have time to keep their pets company and do not socialize them well enough. Plus, how much poop can we keep walking over or discarding?
Just today in east Arlington, VA, I saw a nice apartment building with many piles of feces of several sizes on the little strip of green around it. Not just disgusting, but disease carrying, too.
It used to be that pets were a luxury since they cost quite a bit to raise properly, but now have become a required accessory or status symbol for too many humans. There are many people who take more care of their pets than other folks, too, which is disturbing—even to the current Pope. No pets means no pets. You are not an exception because you believe you are special or above the rules or your pets are different.
Seriously, think about what you would want in your home! Do not do unto others as you would not have them do unto you. Or children. Pets, especially when very young or elderly, are generally incontinent, pee and often leave an ammoniacal smell which, even using different cleaning and enzymatic compounds, will still leave a residual, noticeable odor. They take as much work as children.
I bought a house which turned out to have had a cat peeing in a corner of the wall-to-wall carpeting over the oak floors. It had seeped into the padding and the floor. Other animals can smell it and pee in the same area to cover it with their odor. The cat in my house probably smelled racoons outdoors, according to a carpet sales person.
Learn to make human friends! The irony of it all…your tenants are most likely paying for your life style, and paying for your mortage…. Millions of pounds are having to put down animals because of landlord greed…. I rent out my late fathers house, I have a preference for pets over children, as children seem to do a lot more damage! So thank you for contributing to the millions of pets who have to be put down each year, because of greedy landlords like you….
People should not have to pick between a home shelter is a human right and the companionship of an animals…. Third, my tenants do not pay for my lifestyle. My property my rules. This is yet another example of ignorant and anal landlords. Have you ever heard of a pet deposit? I am a single female and I own a small dog. She is house trained and only barks when someone is near the door something I find to be a plus while living alone.
There is recourse for tenants who owe money on damages for an apartment. It is called rental history and collections. As I am sure you have observed, people can be just as nasty as animals. Thankyou… it is hypocritical I agree. If you rent to low income tenants perhaps that is the issue and not the pets. Do you walk around in a plastic bubble too? Most suburban and urban areas require that you clean up after your pet.
No one is telling you to pick it up with your bare hands or walk through it. Although sidewalks are a good option. If my properties where in a suburban area of Norther VA where I live, then my pet policies would adhere to the prospective tenant I would get. However, my experience as a landlord in this particular area has required me to enforce strict pet policies. I appreciate your comment, nonetheless, but I doubt your opinion will make me change the way I do business in this area. Feel free to check out my other articles and share your opinion.
Last, but not least.. I own a condo that I put my life savings into, and unfortunately had to move because I lost my job. How in gods name can you say that it is my responsibility to provide housing for someones pet? Like it or not, my house is my investment….. I find the sense of entitlement on this board irritating.
What gives you the right to demand that landlords accommodate your pet? How dare you! You are not entitled to an ideal set of conditions in life, pet owner or not. How dare you accuse landlords of being responsible for the deaths of animals. Your assertion is ignorant, baseless, fallacious, misguided, pathetic and downright stupid. And to the renters of the world, sorry, no pets.
Its not personal to you or your animal. Look elsewhere, there are plenty of properties that are more than happy to accommodate you. When you find an apartment and go over the lease with owner, this is when you can ask questions and clarify rules of the particular apartment.
Quit destroying peoples property and signing a legal document that you intend on failing to comply with. Once again, no one is forcing you to live in a specific place with specific rules, it is your choice, respect them or keep fishing. Totally has neglected all my rules and my property is now destroyed. Once again, if you are looking for a place for pets or whatever, make sure you respect the owners specifications, its simple.
This is why I wrote the article about not allowing pets at my rentals. It has nothing to do with the dogs. Keep in […]. Being responsible is the key. Narrow minded landlords with little thought to potentially discuss and base their decision on the individuals case is my current overriding feeling on this. Even after offering to pay a higher deposit and contract in professional cleaners at the end of the tenancy. Here in the UK 12 people are pet owners- what business automatically turns away that many people without good reason?!
You are a despicable person. All you have done is run down people on assistance. Many people cannot help their situation.
I can only imagine how you look at these poor people when you are dealing with them. Who do you think you are? Only God can judge.. So you own property….. Do you thank God daily for for your blessings? That you are not one of these poor people that have to be on government assistance. How sad for you. You seem to be such a lost unhappy soul with no love in your life. Leave them live in peace. We are landlords of our previous home in another state.
We allowed our tenants to have dogs, and they destroyed our property. The sod grass we had installed was completely gone. All that remained was dirt and huge holes dug everywhere. The inside had major scratches all over the doors and door jambs, and those had to be replaced.

While there may not be as much red tape to cut through for apartments that allow pets, you most likely won't find the pet-friendly amenities.
There may also be stricter expectations for pet behavior and less tolerance for things like loud barking or rowdy pets. If you're moving into a pets-allowed apartment, make sure you maintain a good pet-owner reputation.
Many of the rules you'll have to follow as a pet owner in an apartment that has a pets-allowed policy get spelled out in a pet agreement contract. These can get extremely detailed but will focus on restrictions for pet ownership as well as acceptable behavior in common areas. The document can include limits to how many pets you can have, the property manager's right to verify what pets are living with you and leash rules.
The contract will also have language about the property owner's right to request the removal of the pet for any reason at any time. In addition to signing the contract, make sure you're a good pet-owning neighbor taking the time to introduce yourself and your pet to the other tenants in the building. This lets them get comfortable with your pet even if they're not pet lovers themselves. It also allows you to establish a relationship with your neighbors so that if an issue occurs, they come to you first before reporting anything to management.
You should also keep an eye on your pet even if you're not home to ensure they're behaving. Hire a dog walker to come in, check on things and give your dog a little exercise while you're away at work.
If you've got a cat, set up a camera or two in your apartment and check in while you're gone to be on the safe side. This information may also get explained in your pet contract, but make sure you budget for extra pet fees when signing a lease in a pets-allowed building. The cost associated with having a pet in an apartment come in a few categories.
Some communities and public housing authorities have laws and rules banning certain types of animals or breeds of dogs. Be sure to check if any local laws or rules are in effect, as these outweigh your lease.
Contracts like leases cannot be changed without both sides agreeing, unless there is already language in the document that allows the change. Your landlord cannot go into your apartment and remove a pet or show up and force you or your pet out. Landlords have to follow the law and go through a legal process to remove tenants or their pets. Generally the landlord cannot even enter the home without giving the tenant notice except in an emergency, unless the lease specifies otherwise.
Even if your lease does not allow pets, you may have a legal right to keep your pet. Your right to keep your pet may depend on local housing laws, the type of housing you live in, as well as the type of lease you have. This is why it is so important to find legal resources to assist you.
Also, if your pet meets the legal qualifications of an assistance animal , you may have a legal right to keep your pet. Co-op and condo boards have strict defined rules they must follow to make any changes in pet policies or to remove unit owners.
If you are being faced with eviction or loss of your pet, seek help before you do anything drastic. There may be legal resources in your community see next section to help you find answers to questions about your lease or about notices you have received from your landlord.
These include nonprofit agencies whose services may be low cost or even free. You may be able to keep your housing and your pet, so do not panic.
