Animal tenants
What do people think of tenants having animals?
I would prefer not, but, due to a misunderstanding (or a manipulation) a tenant now has a cat.
PM has suggested a carpet clean as a condition of lease renewal- fair enough. But, can cats, for instance, scratch up paintwork?
Tenant has also asked for a cat door- I've said OK, provided the provide their own door, and store my original door- so that the cat door does not remain a permanent feature- possibly turning off other tenants.
But some landlords say that allowing pets is a good way of increasing your tenant base and rentability.
