Pets: A landlord's best friends
Pets are always quite messy for landlords. A landlord does not want to ruin his floor carpet or hard wood floors or his courtyard by the pet of his tenant. A landlord also does not want to ruin his dreamy sleep by the tenant's pet. However recent survey conducted by the FIREPAW, a renowned survey team, shows that landlords do not lose money when they accept pets with tenant; rather they actually earn more money per year when they accept pets with their tenants.
By accepting pets, landlords can open up the pool of possible returns from the tenants. Let us see the reasons one by one:
1. When a landlord prepares his property for the ensuing tenants, he being a professional business man wants quick return. He does not like to keep his property lying idle in absence of tenant. He needs a quick return against his property through rent. His hope is to have his property be rented as quickly as possible and for as long as possible.The result of survey conducted by the said authority shows that accepting pets with tenant can help the landlords to keep his tenant in the property for a longer period than the non accepting landlords.The said survey also shows that the pet accepting landlords used to get his tenant within 19 days from the announcement or advertisement in comparison to 29 days when pets are not allowed.Tenants with pets used to stay average length of 46 months when tenants without pets used to stay average length of 19 months.
2. Pet accepting landlords earns more money than the other one. Pet accepting landlords may earn double money than the non accepting landlords. Some times it goes to three or four times higher than the non accepting landlords on the basis of security deposit for the pets.
3. Another surprising report of research work says that the damage of rental property by the pets are lesser than the damage caused by the tenants without pet. High security deposit for the pets ensures the landlords against all sorts of damages caused by the pets of the tenants.
4. Some pets like dog can be very much helpful for both the tenant and the landlord where question of security is concerned. A pet like dog can be solution of night guard at night time for both of them.
5. One can not deny the love and affection issues of the pet and landlord relationship. It is seen many times that life of landlord or his little unit was saved by the tenant's pet from sudden accidents. Pets are very much sensitive and they never be disobedient if they get some love and affection from human being. Good landlord pet relation may be fruitful for the landlord.
All the statistics show that pets can help the landlord to earn more money for a longer period of time. It also helps the landlord to get his tenant much faster than the non accepting landlords. Pets can save landlords' life from sudden accidents. Pets can also help the landlord to keep good relation with the tenant. Pet can truly be a friend of landlord.
