Almost every landlord has had a tenant that owned a pet.
From chihuahuas, to kittens, to enormous Great Danes, pets
are part of the family to those who raise them.
这是个问题，不是吗? If you allow pets, there will be
损害. If you don’t allow pets, there will probably be 损害
不管怎样. Herein lies the root of the pet policy issue: there
are benefits and downsides on both sides. 你会怎么做呢?
First off, we need to know the ups and downs of allowing pets:
| 好处 | 风险 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 更多可能的租户 | Possible physical injury to neighbors or tenant | ||||
| 宠物费用增加了收入 | 可能对财产造成的损害 | 更高的租户满意度 | 可能的噪音干扰 | 减少损害赔偿损失 | Pet dander getting caught in air ducts |
With a better idea of the results of a pet-allowing policy, we can
guess what would happen if pets were to be allowed.
Likely Damage and Contamination to the Property
When you think of why animals wouldn’t be good to have in your rental
property, you think primarily of the 损害 they can do. 很多时候,
you’ll find chewed up cabinet corners and scratched doors. 这样的宠物

哪一个需要花钱来修理.
Any pet with fur or feathers will also release allergens and dander.
Dander are the flakes of skin in an animal’s fur, which can create
worse air quality within the property if they get into the air duct.
Possible Noise Problems and Physical Harm
这样的宠物 as dogs are very common among society, with 40-47% of households
至少拥有一只狗. Unless the dog had no vocal chords, they’d most
可能会制造很多噪音. To neighbors, this can get very annoying. As
well as noise, there is also a chance that the neighbors or owner of the
宠物可能会被他们的狗伤害. This doesn’t only apply to dogs, as cats
and birds can also cause harm to people.
增加收入，减少损失
With a policy that doesn’t allow pets, there can be many complications.
Tenants may agree with the policy, but still house their pets. 这可以
result in 损害s you were not prepared for, and with no 损害 deposit
为了帮助支付，你损失了钱. However, with a policy that allows pets,
you can include a statement that makes it the tenant’s responsibility,
keeping 损害s a less expensive fix for you.
Not only that, but through pet fees, you can earn more money. 随着
the regular monthly rent to pay, tenants that own pets will also pay extra
money to put fido’s name on the lease.
More Tenants with Better Enjoyment
If you allow pets in your rental property, then you’ll 有一个 bigger
selection of tenants to pick from. According to the American Public
Power Association (APPA), around 45% of households in the U.S. 有一个
dog, and around 35% of households 有一个 cat. 通过开放你的财产
to pets, you just allowed yourself more choices to choose from. 不管
of who you rent out the property to, they’ll be much more satisfied than
if the property didn’t allow pets.
概述
After looking at the benefits and the risks of allowing pets, we can now
make a reasonable and logical decision. If you do allow pets, there will
be more noise and a small chance of injury, as well as possible 损害
and contamination to the property. However, with policies that allow pets,
with the addition of a few regulations, you can earn more money and make
the possible 损害 less expensive to fix. 除此之外，你还有
more tenants to choose from and pick which one will work best with you.
所有 in all, a pet-allowing policy will benefit you if you play your
卡对吧. With enough leniency, as well as a fair amount of restrictions
and regulations, you’ll get more tenant satisfaction without compromising
你方的利益.
