No Pets

Hey Everybody,

I just have a quick question and it may have been asked before but I'm going to ask anyway :) Whats the deal with rentals and no pets? Now I know pets can be destructive but aren't kids just as if not more destructive if not raised well. I mean you interview the person and family why can't you meet the family dog. I guess I'm frustrated because we are looking for a nice house to live in while we flip houses and can't find any that will accept our English Bulldog. If anybody has a lead on a SFR in Marin County for rent that would be awesome!

Thank you,

I highly recommend to my owners that they allow pets on a case by case basis.  If we can get good references for the pets, I don't see any reason to exclude 75% of people for that silly reason.

Kids are WAY more destructive than pets.  I have twin toddlers, and they have colored on walls, dented the hardwood floors by dropping things on them, put hand prints all over the walls and splashed food all over the breakfast area walls.  They have even peed on my carpet.  So, yeah, kids are just as bad if not worse than some pets.
