Move your super-tall dog to the suburbs, go to another city with your beloved companion animal, and bring it closer to the company ... Many times, you have to take a small tenant with four legs to rent a house. The following suggestions may help you.
1. Prepare in advance. Some landlords are unwilling to accept four-legged tenants, so you should start to inquire about all aspects of rental information at least two months in advance, and fully understand the landlord, environment and local regulations on keeping dogs and cats.
Put yourself in the landlord's shoes. Some landlords may have had unpleasant experiences because they rented their houses to families with small animals. For example, tenants may not limit the range of activities of small animals, do not clean up their droppings carefully, or secretly take their companion animals home without saying hello, or they may leave damaged furniture when they leave ... They may worry that barking will disturb their neighbors and worry more about how to solve disputes with tenants. All these ideas are reasonable. Therefore, a person who rents a house to keep a cat or dog must be a responsible companion animal owner, take good care of his companion animals scientifically and patiently, and regulate their behavior in order to become a popular tenant.
3. Make full use of all available resources. Establish contact with animal protection organizations, community service agencies and neighbors who also have companion animals, and they may recommend you a landlord who allows companion animals to live. Intermediaries who love small animals themselves will also help you enthusiastically. The community that regulates the behavior of companion animal owners is an ideal choice.
4. Collect evidence and prove to the landlord that he is a responsible companion animal owner. For example, the recommendation letter from the previous landlord, the registration certificate and training level of the dog, the immunization certificate or sterilization certificate of the companion animal, etc. Explain to the landlord that your companion animals have good hygiene habits and promise that you will do their hygiene work in time and thoroughly.
5. After consultation with the landlord, implement the detailed rules for keeping companion animals in the lease contract, and obtain the written permission of the property if necessary.
7. Explain your advantages to the landlord. People with companion animals usually don't move frequently, and stable living conditions can make landlords get stable rental income.
8. If there is an opportunity, you can let your companion animal meet the landlord. A neat, beautiful and well-behaved cat or dog can tell a lot. Tell the landlord that you not only love your companion animals, but also cherish the home environment and neighborhood relations.
9. Willing to pay more. Tell the landlord that you can pay a little deposit to ensure that if any furniture and articles are damaged by your companion animal, he will not suffer losses.
10. Don't bring your companion animal in quietly. Without saying hello, violating the lease, bringing companion animals into the rented house may be expelled by the landlord, adding unnecessary expenses and troubles to yourself. Therefore, even if you want to keep a companion animal after the lease starts, you should negotiate with the landlord and reach an agreement, which will be implemented as an annex to the lease contract.
When life changes, the owner should try his best to fulfill the responsibility of companion animals from beginning to end. At the same time, we should also respect the feelings of others and regulate the behavior of ourselves and our companion animals. Only by fulfilling your dual responsibilities to your companion animal and society will your life with it be full of fun and warmth.
