Bottom line you have to do whats best for you and your baby. You have to live with the situation, the rest of us don't. I know how hard it is to get into rental homes with pets. I love my babies, but we have 3 rental homes, and don't allow inside pets, due to some in the past destroying the houses. Rental homes are a investment, and cost to much to have to remodel after every renter leaves. You would be surprized what a little cat or dog can do. Some people just don't care, and let them do whatever. Thats why so many don't do it. As far as muzzling or drugs, to me that is cruel for the dog. I would hate to give my dog medicine all the time, no telling what the long term effects would be on a tiny dog. I hope you find something that works best for you. Sending hugs, I can't imagine how hard this is for you. I would do anything I had to if it was my baby. |
Isn't that why property owners charge a non-refundable pet deposit? I've seen the deposit vary by the size of the house. The bigger the house, the more rooms they get into, the more damage they can potentially cause. It's a one time fee and property owners can still deduct from a renters deposit if a pet deposit doesn't cover it. At least that's my understanding. It's one of the prices we pay as pet owners. Usually, on a rental house, pets are allowed. In apts it's harder to find pet friendly housing due to the liability on the owner and the close quarters people share.
My dad has a house he rents out too. That's what we've done in the past, and as long as we're clear on the "pet terms" and people agree to it, it hasn't been a problem. Most of the remodeling we've done in the past gets down regardless of whether or not a person has pets. We paint, replace carpets, check everything electrical, all the pipes are checked, and we clean out what the past renter has left behind. We've had worse tenants without pets than the ones that have pets.
