We\u2019ve also included some suggestions at the end in case you decide to take the plunge.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&nbsp;Pros<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>It Enlarges Your Options<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Having pets owners as tenants gives you access to a much larger pool of potential tenants. A lot of people looking to rent property who already have pets are not willing to compromise on their pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>&nbsp;<strong>Increased Rent<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have pets in your home, you will need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tayloremmet.co.uk\/blsblog\/tenant-pets-rent-increase\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\">raise your rent<\/a>. We recommend including a small sum to help prepare for wear and tear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if it is not a significant increase, typically around \u00a350 a month extra for example, it will be sufficient to cover any maintenance that is required during the cleaning process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Stabilized Tenants<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Tenants with pets tend to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avail.co\/education\/articles\/should-you-allow-pets-in-your-rental-property\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\">more settled in their lives<\/a> due to the responsibility that comes with pet ownership. If a tenant is dependable and responsible, they will respect your property more.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Damage<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Landlords are frequently irritated when pets cause property damage. While the deposit is refundable, pet damage is common. The most common type of pet damage is scratched up walls and lingering smell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Allergies<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If future tenants are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allpropertymanagement.com\/blog\/post\/qa-tenant-with-severe-cat-allergies\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\">allergic to pets<\/a>, it can be a difficult situation. Though this doesn\u2019t seem like it would be an issue, pet hair can linger in properties, and this can hurt future tenants with allergies or breathing problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Deep Cleaning<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a pet has been removed from a property, an additional clean is required. This is both time-consuming and costly.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tips To Consider<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Consider Carefully<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t need to accept every pet-owning tenant that comes your way. Simply acknowledge that you are considering pets and make your decision from there. There is no obligation here, and you can make a decision based on your criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Draft A Favourable Tenancy Agreement<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure your tenancy agreement has a clause regarding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axa.co.uk\/landlord-insurance\/landlord-guide-renting-with-pets\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\">renting with pets<\/a>. Adding an umbrella clause that says pets are accepted is not recommended. Instead, the terms should be specific around what is and isn\u2019t allowed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet The Pet If Possible<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also inquire about the pet\u2019s current location to see if you are comfortable having one in your rental property. As a result, you can learn about its behaviour, cleanliness, and environmental impact.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Renting out your property to pet owners can be a great way to bring in extra income, but it comes with its own risks, especially if you\u2019re not comfortable having strangers come in and out of your rental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to whether or not you should rent out your property to pet owners. It all depends on your exact circumstances and, in particular, what lease agreements you have with the respective tenant. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having pets in the house has many advantages, but it can also pose a risk to landlords.&nbsp; This article discusses several advantages and disadvantages that you should consider if you are a landlord considering this option.
