For my fiancé and I, we had to certify our dog ESA to get him into the apartment. They couldn’t raise rent , and couldn’t tell us no. I don’t know the law behind it. What I will say is this, my dog has nails, and his nails have damaged the hardwood floor ( I’m expecting that to come out of our security deposit) it’s not horrible, but it is there.

If they’re nice people, maybe you can get them on your side?
I don’t know the exact situation, explain your concern about the dog and the BNB situation, and maybe they’ll meet you in the middle and agree to put a muzzle on the dog if it gets too barky while you have guests staying below.
I know for my fiancé and I, our dog means the world to us, but as a dog owner I understand how unappealing they could be for others. So if my landlord had a specific problem concerning my dog, I’d do my best to address it and fix it.

Hopefully your tenants are the same! If so, just handle them with care and they should reciprocate

Hello All- It's been all over the news that rents are skyrocketing although the trend seems to be cooling off in some places. Are you raising rents on your tenants? If so, how much have you gone up and what has been the result? Are they staying or are you seeing some turnover starting to happen. Just curious what individual experiences have been with this.

I do raise the rents. One of my best properties I got here in Columbus Ohio was for $35,000 the tenant was paying $400, I raised it to $800 and they were very nice about it. They said they knew it was a matter of time for the rent to go up and they were happy for how cheap they had it for all the years before. I think people are not as willing to pack up everything and move.

I once raised one tenant from $300 to $1,100 when I bought a 4 unit. He cursed me out of the apartment. Then he stayed for 2 more years.

That’s actually sad
