Pets Allowed or Not?

Allowing pets can increase your rental level and even the rate you charge, but it requires the owner to accept a higher risk of damage. My family allows dogs but no cats because of alleges. I have found that if you allow pets you are much more likely to rent your place out. Most people who have pets bring them with or with out your permission so its better to get a few more dollars out of the deal.

If you bring you own pets to your vacation property you should definitely consider allowing others. We have a dog so we already have carpet cleaner and other supplies to clean up after accidents. Make sure you make it easy for your renters to clean up after there pets. The easier it is the more likely they will do it.

Of course you should be sure to protect yourself by clearly spelling out your pet policies in your Rental Agreement. Most Home owners at Hidden Valley charge a pet deposit. We take an extra $200 and as long as there are no problems we give the money back.
