Creating pet-friendly rental properties can be easy if you do your research!
For example, consider:
- Installing indestructible flooring: Swap odor-carrying carpets and
easily scratched hardwood floors for a waterproof luxury vinyl tile (LVT).
- Conducting regular inspections: At a minimum, schedule inspections every six
months and highlight issues as you spot them so renters can make corrections
sooner rather than later.
- Requiring renter’s insurance that includes liability for dog attacks: While
landlords aren’t often successfully sued over a tenant’s dog attack, you can rest
easier knowing you’re both covered.
