More Pet-Friendly Places
Trying to rent with a pet is difficult just about anywhere these days and it is certainly true in the South Bay. The harsh reality is that over 60% of properties will not accept cats and nearly 80% will not accept dogs. While the outlook may seem grim, there are things you can do to help increase the odds in your favor. For one thing, not all pets are created equal. Is your pet small or older? Has it gone through obedience training? Is your cat kept indoors? Any of these factors can help make a difference to a landlord. Attach a photo of your pet to your application or bring one with you when you meet with the landlord. Getting a good reference from your current landlord, veterinarian and even your neighbors can be a tremendous help too. Perhaps the best thing you can do is to offer a pet deposit to cover for any damages. A good place to start might be to offer $200 for a cat and $300 or more for a dog. Taking these extra steps can say as much about you as your pet. After all, responsible pet owners tend to make good tenants. South Bay Rentals has more pet-friendly vacancies than any other source!
