A pet question to landlords!?
If I aproached you and offered an extra £100 on the deposit and an increase of £10 on rent as well as taking out an insurance policy that covers up to £750 per pet (for damage) would you be willing to allow me to have 2 netered/spayed cats and 1 dog (will be 1 at that time and will be looking to get him nuetered) in your rented house?
I am a responsible pet owner but have a daughter also and am wondering what my chances are of finding a new place that will accept me with pets when I go to do my university degree next year.
I already have both, I do not want to get rid of them. I'm just looking to see if I have any chance when moving. If steam cleaning is what needs to be done I would be willing to pay for it when I move out so that I could keep my pets. I would put this in any offer I made to the landlord. My dog is not allowed in the bedroom unless it is in his bed (crate) and this is the only place that has carpet in my curent place.
To the person who replied from the US, this is standard in America, it often is not in England. Many landlords make their own rules which they are entitled to with in reason. I have pet insurance on all my pets and the one for a dog has up to one million pounds 3rd person liability.
I am working very hard on training him before I move because he's still a puppy but I have some time yet.
I would offer £200-300 on the deposit for the pets so it would be £900 deposit. I would also offer pet rent and a full clean before I move.

I would happily rent to you - my standard deal is to ask for 50% more deposit per pet. That way, any 'problems' like extra cleaning or pet damage can be sorted out at the end of the tenancy.
I suspect your bigger problem will be not having a full time income - financial security is key.
BTW - best of luck with your degree, I'm doing one right now ;)

No because I will not accept any more than 2 pets in my property.
I also charge a $250 non-refundable per pet fee as well as an additional $50 per pet deposit and $10 per month per pet rent. I also require the tenant to provide a liability policy on the animals in case they hurt someone or another animal.

I wouldn't let you into my rental property because I have very expensive carpets, furniture, etc and I believe even well-behaved pets tend to leave things ragged, hairy, chewed and wet. Think about the *really* nice houses you've been to in your life. Ever noticed how there wasn't a pet in sight?
To help your chances, I'd go with either cats or dogs, not both. I'd also pick a landlord who doesn't have fancy fixtures and fittings, because they have less to lose.

quite possibly the cats, but not the dog - they make the whole place smell of dogs and I would have to get it steam cleaned at the least afterwards.
with the cats, I would ask for a clause that any damaged carpets be replaced in their entirety - this means claws or urine. Same for any woodwork.

it quite is criminal in case you settle to it. in case you do no longer comply with it, in simple terms stay someplace else. Or attempt to barter. grant one extra $500 puppy deposit to guarantee them that there wont be any puppy injury. coach them that the cats have been declawed. Is the project that they do unlike pets or that they do no longer want to risk the puppy injury? If it somewhat is like a duplex and that they stay around the corner, it would desire to be they have puppy allergies or some thing and $30 extra desirable in lease is adequate for them to check to placed up with the extra desirable sniffling and sneezing. And puppy deposits are a one time charge it is refundable if there is not any injury finished to the domicile/condominium once you circulate away.
