How to Prepare Your Landlord for Your Apartment Pet

n

If you are moving into a new apartment community, or you are thinking about buying a pet, there is a lot you have to prepare for. Firstly, you must check and see if your apartment complex is a pet-friendly apartment community. From here, you can begin to make the proper preparations for bringing your fuzzy friend into your living space. Even if pets are allowed where you live, it is still wise to introduce your pet to everyone and ensure that you will be a responsible apartment tenant during your stay. Read on to learn how to properly prepare your landlord for your apartment pet.

Be Honest About Your Apartment Pet and What They Mean to You

n

Keeping your property manager and landlord within the loop about having a pet could save you from future headaches. That way, you won’t be faced with an eviction notice, bad referral, or any other type of legal ramifications. For example, if your lease states that you’re not allowed to have pets, then technically, if the tenant sneaks the pet, he/she violates the contract. In this case, you have grounds for eviction. Just be honest. Luckily at Prescott Square Apartments, we are a pet-friendly apartment community, so issues like this will not occur.

Introduce Your Apartment Pet

n

Mention your pet’s name, age, and tell your landlord some cute or funny stories about living with them. Attach information, like a photo of the pet, his/her breed, whether or not it’s microchipped, vaccinated, etc. Every landlord wants to meet a well-behaved apartment pet. Keep that in mind that before showing off your pet’s true colors. But if you’re confident that you have a good pet that will melt your landlord’s heart, then use it to your advantage.

Show Them That You’re Responsible

n

There’s a couple of reasons why dealing with pet owners can be a big win-win for everyone involved:

n

n
• Taking extensive care of an apartment pet requires a lot of attention and time, and pet owners usually put that same energy toward taking care of their property.

n

• Pet owners usually stick around a bit longer since there aren’t nearly as many properties available to pet owners. And pet owners usually do not want to stress out their pets by moving a lot.

Explaining these two arguments to your apartment landlord might help you convince a property owner to allow you to live with your furry friends.
