Available Rentals – Cats and Dogs Need Not Apply

Pets have become a huge obstacle to securing a rental property.  Blame is falling on the breed due to the bad deed and often size matters.   These cute, tail-wagging charmers are contributing to the deprivation of the security of a home and many people who do not own homes own pets.  Homelessness is sometimes caused by lack of affordable housing but client who receive Section 8 assistance are being turned away because of their pets.   Might it be time for landlords to make a change and welcome dogs and cats?   Surely, there would be plenty of takers.  Landlords hear many outrageous tales about pets destroying property (what else are people going to recount, a fabulous experience renting to a pet owner – boring?)   Fortunately, attitudes can shift and smart apartment companies have made pet accommodations the norm.   Please consider a furry tenant.  They will love you for it unconditionally.
