Rent to a person with one large pet
Hey everyone I have a quick question. I am renting out a single family home on a corner lot with 0.4 acres. A tenant meets all of my minimum qualifications, except a large pet. She has a "Great Pyrenees, 90 lbs, 6 years old, house trained, and very friendly." She states he is a nice dog, but that is bigger than what I was hoping for. The neighbor does run an in house day care. So would this dog be to big and make it a deal breaker or you have had luck in these situations. Please let me know what you think. Thank you for your time.

@Travis Hargreaves those are big, sweet, gentle giants. I’d rent to them. Yeah a 90 lb dog will be hard on the hardwood. I had a tenant with a Great Dane. I installed a manufactured flooring material and it’s fine. My experience is that dog owners make very appreciative tenants with very low turnover.
