Here are some recommendations that can help you find that special place for you and your loved one.
You’re moving and the the new abode doesn’t accept pets. It’s a dilemma Much Love hears often. However, many apartments, rental homes and condos allow pets and there are an abundance of excellent resources to help you find a pet-friendly rental.
You might have to spend more time on your search, pay a higher rent or live a bit farther away than you initially envisioned. On the other hand, you may not. If you fall in love with a rental condo or home that doesn’t accept pets, suggest a refundable ‘’pet deposit,’’ which is common procedure. Landlords are often open to such negotiation. You might even suggest that the landlord inspect the place quarterly. That sort of openness on your part goes a long way.
If you’re a dog owner, trying bringing your pooch to meet prospective landlords. A well-groomed, well-behaved animal can mitigate concerns. So may a copy of your pet’s obedience-class diploma or, if you have a pure breed, certificate from the American Kennel Club’s Canine Good Citizen Program. You might also bring references from previous landlords, neighbors or your vet.
A terrific place to start is with the Humane Society of the United States. Go to www.rentwithpets.org for all sorts of information and other links.
