pets and renting a flat

Why is it worth agreeing to rent a flat to someone with a pet?

Just browse the adverts of people looking for a flat to rent to see that many of them are turned down only because they own pets. On the one hand, it is easy to understand the concerns of property owners; on the other, it is worth remembering that agreeing to rent a flat to someone with a pet makes sense. It is worth changing your approach especially if you are having trouble finding tenants. It should also be remembered that, because of landlords' reluctance, owners of four-legged companions, once they find a flat, try to make sure they can rent it for as long as possible.

Damage caused by pets – how to protect yourself against it?

You do not need to be an expert to know that cats, dogs and other pets can cause various kinds of damage in a flat. Fortunately, you can protect yourself against it. Do you want to rent a flat to pet owners who are interested in Katowice? An estate agency can help. Professionals will tell you how to protect yourself against possible damage. The key to success is a suitable clause in the contract. It is also worth remembering to draw up a handover report describing the flat's furnishings, with photos.

A well-furnished flat whose owner accepts pets? There are few such properties. Katowice is just one of many cities where it is hard to find a good listing for pet owners. That is exactly why it is worth preparing your listing together with an estate agency in a way that opens it up to owners of four-legged pets.

A pet-friendly flat – what to remember

Do you want the flat to be particularly attractive to pet owners? It is worth preparing it properly. The following will certainly come in handy:

  • Cupboards for chemicals and medicines – they should be placed where animals cannot reach them.

  • Plants – ones that will decorate the interior and will not do harm. For example, it is worth choosing spiderwort. Avoid poisonous plants such as aloe, azalea or dracaena.

  • Cleaning equipment – even the best-behaved animal sometimes makes a mess. It is worth giving potential tenants access to equipment such as a handy dustpan and brush, or a robot vacuum cleaner.

Another important matter is, of course, a properly prepared advert. It should include, for example, information on the proximity of places that may be attractive to pet owners. Katowice? Estate agencies in this city are very active. It is worth getting professional help so that the flat is truly attractive to pet owners.
