“As a long time renter and dog lover, I will always be open to renting to someone with a “well-behaved” pet.”
If you rent your place to someone with a dog, make sure your lease agreement specifically states:
1. the number of dogs allowed with this lease
2. the name of the dog(s)
3. full descriptions of the dog(s)
4. what the tenant must do if their dog situation changes.
A tenant who feels you are ‘dog friendly’ may decide to add a few stray Pitbulls during the lease without notifying you. You need to reserve the right to restrict a tenant from adding or replacing dogs.
