Pets and your property

Pets and your property: Yes or no?

Pets are not permitted on any Najib rental property unless expressly agreed by you as the landlord.

Welcoming pets within your tenancy enhances the appeal of your property to a broader range of applicants. To many, pets are family, but you should consider the risk versus rental reward.

What happens if I agree to a pet and it causes damage?

Whether a pet policy is in place or not and irreparable damage is done, the damaged item (curtains, carpets, sprinkler system, etc.) must be replaced at the tenant’s cost.

In the end, you always have the right to decide if a ’pet-friendly’ tenancy is for you.

Pros

• Tenants may be open to negotiating special terms/higher rent to allow their pet into the tenancy.

• Pet-friendly properties may rent faster due to higher demand.

• Applicants with pets are often longterm and reliable tenants.

Cons

• Pet hair, pet waste, fleas, and animal hygiene require professional cleaning to maintain your property in a rentable condition.

• Claws can damage carpets, curtains and woodwork requiring costly fixes.

• Animal urine is acidic and can damage the pile of carpet or even stain carpets permanently.
