Renting with pets
Hi all
Looking at previous threads, I understand that quite a lot of aussies hate cats for one reason or another. As we will be coming over with 2 cats, I'm a bit worried about the availability of rental properties with pets. Are they few and far between? Or am I worrying for nothing? Has anybody had problems finding properties?

Landlords here are the same as in Britain. They do not want pets.
Anyway I had better shut up or I will get cat rage again.
Bloody selfish animals.

Look I hate cats along with a lot of people. I worry about people who feel they have a right to abuse because they do not agree with someone.
Another thing is landlords hate pets. Just because you do not like that doesn't mean you have to start abusing me.
Anyway where is the mag and toilet tissue.

Cut the wholier than thou crap! If you hate cats that's fine, don't wind up cat lovers. This is a serious question from a serious cat lover! In answer to your previous reply Britain isn't as bad, for starters we don't have to lock up our pets at night! Britain is a nation of cat lovers!
In ancient times cats were treated as gods, and were protected by law as well! Whoever killed a cat was condemned to death! Pity it isn't the same now!

The same attititude carries on out here but as in Britain landlords do not like pets. Not every pet is a problem but they can cause damage. You might find a sympathetic landlord but most leases have a no pet policy.
I think you meant holier than though and you appear to be very easily wound up. Stress of it all getting to you?

Calm down, Calm down.
Keep it friendly now.
May I make a small suggestion here?
Kittenlips is asking a question about her cats, and I should imagine, is very concerned about moving them and their future.
You B, do not like cats or anything to do with cats. Therefore, may I suggest that to calm things down a bit, you leave this thread and leave it to people who do/or have had cats and are in the same position so that they may give her some unbiased advice.
I see that your advice about renting with pets will more than likely be correct as here in the UK, but the personal thing about cats may not help here.
I do not want to get into any CAT FIGHTS here, but just wanted to calm down the situation.

Hi Bondi
Just want to apologise for swearing at you earlier. I don't normally abuse people this early in the morning! I am a bit wound up at the moment but not about this process. I am currently undergoing a stressful IVF cycle and unfortunately my body is pumped full of hormones which I have no control over! You weren't helping!

Sorry if I offended you. As they say here no worries . We all have our moments and I appreciate the apology.
All the best with the IVF and I hope you have some bundles of joy coming your way. I find just the thought of kids stressful and I could not possibly understand what you are going through.
As ever Whisky is the calming sensible member of this forum and thanks for the intervention.

Well looks as though Kittenlips has apologised for her outburst, and you don't harm any little pussies, so I will butt out of this one now. Just wanted you both to be friends again.
There have been a lot of people take their cats kittenlips, and I am sure that someone will help.
We are taking a little dog (no abuse please) and will be looking for rental for a few months, so we will be in the same boat, but if it helps, my brother moved up from Albany to Mandurah and rented for 6 months with his 2 dogs and didn't have a problem with it.

Hi Whisky,
I remember watching a program about renting in Oz (can't remember the name of it though) and the man in question had a dog. Some landlords refused out right - as is there right, but he found a few places that he liked that would also take pets.
He took his woth him, to show how good the dog was and that put alot of fears about the dog to rest.
I'm sure that finding a home witha a couple of cats won't be a problem for kittenlips. (& I believe that they keep the spiders down.)
Have a look at the link below, even flat mates can have pets and there is a link for renting;
http://www.flatmates.com.au/
And there's even a box for children
Bye all

We brought our 2 siamese with us, it was a little harder to find a rental property that would accept pets, our contract states that if the cats do any damage we have to pay for the repairs and get rid of the cats. We think this is fair as the property is new and an investment for the owner.
When you get here just check the property papers, ask the landlord, some advertise pets ok, some don't.
Don't worry about it to much you will be ok.
