Renting is a fantastic way to find your own freedom after leaving the family nest. But bringing your fur friend, fish tank or talking cockatoo to a new rental property has its own complexities. Today we will give you some insight into how to apply for a rental property successfully when you have pets.
Sophie Lyon has worked in Property Management for more than 30 years, and is currently the Director and General Manager of Property Management at Jellis Craig Boroondara. Across, what can only be described as a stand-out career, Sophie's on-going delivery of superior client service has seen her rise to positions of significant leadership in all aspects of Property Management. Sophie is also actively involved as a Director of the REIV and is an accredited trainer, currently focusing on delivering training for the new Residential Tenancies Act coming this year.
1. What type of pets are we allowed to have in a rental property?
a) Does that coincide with what the council allows?
2. Do we need to state that we have a pet or pets on our rental application?
3. Are we limited to the number of pets we are allowed?
4. If we have already started a tenancy, can we just go and get a pet without saying anything?
5. What about if we are pet sitting for a short time, like say over Christmas, do we have to notify our property manager or landlord?
6. Putting your REIV Director hat on, is it legislated that we have to pay a bigger bond if we bring a pet to the property?
7. Karl from Cranbourne wants to know what is expected from the tenant, in terms of caring for the property?
8. Is it expected that we clean the carpets regularly if our pet has constant accidents, or can we expect that a landlord will replace the carpets after we finish our tenancy, knowing that we have had a cat or a dog?
