If you have a pet you love and you would like to move into the apartment with you, then one of the first questions you need to ask before you decide to do this is whether the landlord allows pets in their community. There are some landlords who are completely against pets and will not allow them at all, and then there are some that do allow certain kinds, but there may be a deposit that you have to pay to make sure that the apartment is not destroyed.

 

There are a few options that a landlord will have when it comes to choosing whether to have pets in the building or not. These include:

 

# They will not allow pets in the premises at all. If you do have a pet that you try to sneak in and you are found out, then the landlord has the right to evict you, which can cause a number of problems along the way.

# They will allow pets, but you have to get approval ahead of time. This allows them to determine whether the pet is allowed there or not. Do not try to get around this approval.

# They allow pets, but they require a pet deposit. This is done in case the pet does cause some damage to the apartment. It will work similarly to what you see with a security deposit. If the apartment is in good order when you and your pet leave, then you can get the money back.

 

For the most part, when a landlord does not allow pets in the apartment, it is because they have been burnt in the past. They had a tenant, or more than one, who had animals who destroyed the property and then the tenant did not take care of getting it cleaned up and fixed along the way. To avoid this problem, they set up a rule that no pets are allowed at all. It is always a good idea to check ahead of time to see what the pet policy is and whether the landlord allows them or not.
