In the process of searching for pet friendly rental accommodation the following hints will be useful.

Raise the subject of pets in person with the owner/manager if possible.

          Presenting information about yourself and your pet in a face-to-face meeting will have

          a better impact than if it is raised over the telephone.

Prepare and have handy a complete résumé on your pet which includes all

          medical records, obedience school certificates and written references from past

          landlords, neighbours, obedience schools and veterinarians.

Offer to sign a pet agreement to clearly define behaviour appropriate to the

         rental premises.

Pets are not permitted to be kept in many Strata Title properties because of

          specific Body Corporate By-laws. Check the By-laws of the Body Corporate in your

          Strata Title development to identify any special conditions for pets.

Encourage the owner/manager to meet your well-groomed, well-behaved pet to

         demonstrate it is responsibly cared for and obedient.

DEMONSTRATING YOU ARE A RESPONSIBLE PET OWNER
