Hi all,
Just had some applications come through for my IP. One seems reasonable, although they have a dog, maltese something.
They are upfront about it, which is much better than me finding out at a later stage. It also gives me the opportunity to put in some clauses about pets and sprays / repairs which much be done at the end of the tenancy.
What are peoples thoughts on having a dog? I can say that the dog is allowed outside, but chances are, it will be let in the house. Im more worried about the smell that can be associated with having a dog and also damage caused to the property since its just been painted and all.
Am I able to ask for extra bond due to the increase in rent?
The gates also do not close properly, and Im not sure if I'll be fixing these (sagged over time) at this stage so Im also concerned about the dog getting out etc etc.
Thanks
