Landlords can love pets

I'm a great dog lover. Who could resist their big doe eyes and their attentive stare. According to the Dogs Trust website 46% of the population own a pet. Seems high but hey lets roll with it. This means in essence that there will be a lot of your potential tenants who own, it will acquire a pet whilst you are renting to them.

I've posted about my experience of letting to tenants with dogs in the past. Clearly the tenants and pets issue is not going to go away. I'll be doing a more in depth feature on the issues raised this week but it would be interesting to get other landlords views on letting out their properties to tenants with pets first.

In my property before I rented it out I had 4 cats so I gave consent for the family to bring their pets which included a dog. Their first 12 months is just about coming to an end but with the help of Property Hawk I am now going to manage my tenants solely with the help of your website and I am pleased to say there have been no issue's over the pet dog.

I think it is a case of good tenants, good dog owners!
