Responsible Pet Owners
Make Responsible Tenants
A guide to help Landlords rent to Tenants who have Pets
With more than two thirds of Australian households owning a pet, it's no wonder we are often confronted with tenants seeking 'pet-friendly' accommodation.
A well managed pet-friendly policy can help improve profitability, broaden your pool of prospective tenants, lower vacancy rates, reduce tenant turn-over and promote a sense of tenant safety and security.
This brochure looks at some important facts about people and pets, and provides useful information on how property owners and managers can benefit from having a policy which allows for tenants with pets.
