As much as we all of us love our little guys (and other pets) --- how many of us - if we had rentals - would want rent to people with pets. What if we did rent to people with pets - and most of the time ended up with more damage than their deposits could cover???

How about the thousands of posts here about our puppies eating drywall - peeing on carpets - ruining carpets - and doing other damage, etc. (And we have "very little dogs.")

What about larger pets - more damage! - I have seen many yards totally ruined by large dogs having to be fenced in....

If your pets damage your own house and your own yard - that's fair..... but, it's not right to ruin other people's property.

******* I am on the landlord's side..totally - 100%

He wasn't against renting to handicapped or mentally ill persons - he just didn't want to rent to people with pets - and he said he certainly would have rented to a person with a seeing eye dog etc.

***I remember for years (in California) having a hard time finding places that would accept pets.... and there was a reason - most of the ones that did accept pets - weren't very nice.

*** Don't people have anything better to do than go around and trick and lie to people and entrap them - and then sue them.... shame shame shame!!!

I live in a very nice condo area (duplexes - 3000 sq feet). Two of these condos were rented for short periods of time to people with dogs - and the carpets were ruined in both of these houses. There was probably other damage also - that I'm not aware of. But - these condos are new and the ruined carpets should have lasted for another 10 or 15 years......

I'm sure the owners paid 95% of the replacement cost for these carpets and any other damage.
