I allow pets in all my properties, actually I even advertise "pet friendly". In fact if I have one application with pets and one without I would rather accept the one with the pet all things being equal.
52,000 dogs were euthanised in NSW alone last year (yes you read correctly Fifty Two Thousand) healthy dogs that ended up in the pound and were killed as they had no home to go to.
Pets need homes too. If we as landlords don´t allow pets in our homes then more pets end up in the pounds as their owners cannot find accomodation.
To date I have not had an issue with pets, have had issues with some tenants but not pet related.
There have been bonuses to renting to pet owners, tenants are happy that they have found accomodation that welcomes their pets and tend to become long term tenants. I allow pets in the house also.
If you would like to do something to help save a dog from the pound, please visit www.doggierescue.com.au , there are many ways you can help including becoming a foster carer, walking the dogs, etc.
