Some owners have concerns about making their rental property pet-friendly. This can be a personal preference or maybe because of a bad experience with a previous tenant; however, there are many benefits of having a pet-friendly property.

⦁ Larger pool of applicants for your rental property. The majority of renters own at least one pet. Opening up your rental to the majority of the market significantly increases the number of applicants you will get. This typically leads to a more-qualified tenant.

⦁ Less turnover and lower overall make ready costs. Tenants who own pets statistically move less frequently than non-pet owner tenants. 

⦁ Happier tenants. Numerous studies have shown that pet owners are happier and healthier than non-pet owners. 

Not only does making your property pet-friendly increase the profitability of your investment but you will likely end up with a happier tenant overall which makes life better for everyone.

If you are still concerned about allowing pets at your property, you can relax knowing that Equity PMG has a strict pet screening and approval process plus a $1000 Pet Guarantee that protects you from destructive animals.

⦁ We screen each pet and charge a reasonable fee to the tenant.
