Pets

Landlords out there

So about pets - yes or no? (a dog in this case)

I have 3 tenants living in one side of a duplex. Generally good, responsible people. One is asking to bring his dog in. 

What is your experience in that matter?

[Colleen F.]

case by case, interview the dog. What is the breed?  does he listen, does he bark a lot after initial meeting, snapping, hyper, running.  Does the tenant bring the dog on a leash? Who seems to be the boss?

Is the house suited to a dog. Do you have a fence, or enclosed area,  is there someone home or will the dog be locked up? for how long?

I don't judge by size, the nastiest dogs can be the little ones. I do not accept certain breeds and we don't accept them in multifamily but  in a single or duplex on a case by case basis.   Require rental liability insurance.
