Why do you offer pet screening and compliance follow up for owners who allow tenants with pets?
We love pets. I also personally believe and have seen statistics that prove that allowing pets can make a rental property much more attractive to potential renters. However, we also respect the wishes of the property owner and it is at their discretion in regards to whether or not pets are allowed. If the property owner does allow pets, they should do so with the understanding that they can produce some increased risk in property damage, incease in liability and an increased workload for property managers when it comes to property access for repairs and evaluations. We document the presence of pets with a photo and also charge a one time pet fee and a small monthly pet rent fee for each animal. We do not want a tenant to have too many animals or animals that are a different size than we are aware of.
