We’ve been landlords for many years, and have always had a strict no pets policy. This has never been a problem in finding tenants. We keep nice apartments, rent a bit below market, and do our best to deal directly with tenants so they can afford a broker fee.<\/p>\n
However, our most recent vacancy is sitting open longer than usual, so we’ve signed on with a broker. Broker tells us they’ve had 4 applicants who wanted it at the price we’re listed, but all have pets. She is sure (and so are we) that the price is right. We are wondering if the no pets policy could really be getting in the way. <\/p>\n
Note that this is a family sized apartment: 2 beds, 2 baths, washer\/dryer, private yard. <\/p>\n %<\/span><\/span> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We’ve been landlords for many years, and have always had a strict no pets policy.
