Re: renting with pets?
 

I'm sure most pet owners wouldn't want to be in the situation of having to give up their pets and many might only do it for a few weeks whilst they find a new rental but apparently it is becoming a huge problem.

It might also be a place has been pet friendly but then the landlord could change their mind for the next tenant if the previous pet has damaged the place, thereby reducing the number available again.

I also wouldn't want to give a pet up in those circumstances as it must be heartbreaking. When we bought our flat in the UK it never occured to us that the cats might not be allowed so we thought if they weren't we'd just sneak them in a pretend they were large hamsters!

We've decided to hold off getting a furry friend until we move into our own place later in the year and then no one can tell us what to do - oh apart from the local council if we go over our quota :D

One of the requirements we were looking at when we looked for a house was that we could have our dog. I honestly don't know what we would have done if we couldn't find a place that would allow us to have her. I spent thousands of dollars to bring her here, so finding a place that would let us have her with us was a priority in finding a house. Lucky for us, we got the house we wanted, in the area we wanted, daughter is in the school we wanted and we can have the dog too.

I have some friends who have a dog and have moved 3 times so far (for various reasons)... it has cut down their options, but it hasn't actually hindered them ;)
