PETS and RENTAL HOUSING
PETS WELCOME! HOW LANDLORDS CAN MAKE MORE MONEY BY GOING PET-FRIENDLY…the quintessential “how to” manual for rental property owners who are considering renting to people with pets, or who are currently pet-friendly and want to increase their bottom line, for tenants with companion animals, for faculty members, attorneys and other professionals who focus on animal-related issues, and animal welfare organizations who work with landlords and tenants about pet-related issues.
Many landlords unknowingly throw away money each year while prohibiting a profitable segment of tenants. Additionally, their actions are helping to contribute to the unnecessary deaths of many family pets. In fact, research results indicate that the myths and misperceptions held by rental property owners that results in a severe lack of available pet-friendly housing is one of the primary reasons millions of family pets are turned over to shelters and euthanized each year. The result has led to a divisive, sometimes hostile relationship between landlords and tenants with pets.
Pets Welcome! How Landlords Can Make More Money by Going Pet-Friendly is aimed at calling a truce between landlords and tenants with pets by providing rental property owners with the information and tools needed to increase the overall numbers of “pet-friendly” rental options in a way that is profitable for them and beneficial for all involved.
This book is based in part on the findings of the authors’ groundbreaking national Companion Animal Renters Study. Among other things, the study examined rentals with regard to pet-friendly/pets prohibited status, a variety of financial and economic factors, rental, deposit, turnover and damage histories, rental tendencies and trends, and landlords’ personal beliefs and attitudes about allowing companion animal renters.
The result? In short, the Companion Animal Renters Study dispelled the myths about pets and housing. The study has been widely published and the response to the findings has been so strong among tenants with animals and professionals within the animal welfare arena that it resulted in the development of the Companion Animal Renters Program, a free consulting service designed to assist landlords considering going pet-friendly. The Companion Animal Renters Study and subsequent training program for landlords and rental property managers were the driving force behind this book.
