How often do you see the "No Pets Allowed" sign on establishments that you frequent everyday? If you've had a pet for quite some time now, then finding pet friendly condos for your furry friends are probably one of the issues that you had to deal with.
There are different reasons why there are very few pet friendly condos around. Some landlords are very strict with noise problems that can cause troubles with neighbors, while others are concerned about the damage that the pets could cause to the entire place.
Below are some of the most useful pieces of advice when renting with your pets in pet friendly condos.
- Pets have a tendency to make excessive noise in a new environment. To prevent this from happening, give your pet time to adjust to its new home. Owners of pet friendly condos are probably used to the noise, but your neighbors aren't. Make your puppy feel secure by staying with him during the first few days of moving in. Doing this will not only make you a responsible pet owner, but also a good neighbor.
- Give your landlord or the owner of pet friendly condos the list of vaccinations that your pet has to guarantee that keeping him in the condo is safe. The certificate will also serve as proof that the pet is free of diseases and allergies.
- Review your contract of lease more than once to ensure that you don't violate any of the rules stated, even if it’s a pet friendly condo. This usually consists of the number of pets you are allowed to have, as well as the size of the pets, especially since most pet friendly condos have very limited space where dogs and cats can roam around. Be aware of the fines (if any) should your pet incur violations.
- Once your landlord informs you of unruly behavior caused by your pet, address it immediately and do something about it. Dogs should ideally be potty-trained when living in pet friendly condos, but if not, make the necessary adjustments so as not to bother other tenants and residents.
Lastly, take good care of the condo unit. Don't give landlords a problem by making the surroundings of pet friendly condos spotless all the time. With these tips in mind, you’ll soon find relocating in pet friendly condos a breeze and you won’t ever have to worry about leaving your pet behind.
