I would explore more.
What condition is the rental in? Anything less than mint floors and I would be tempted.
Is there a fenced yard or other dog friendly perks that attracted her?
Some dog owners are crazy about their dogs. They are the best tenants in that their worlds revolve around their dogs. The apartment will be home for a long time if they feel their dog is happy.
Now if this dog is a play toy for kids who get no attention...well, those are the kind we all fear.
I would want to know more before making a decision. --96.241.xx.xx |

Ken, they never stay at another persons house for long. First time you see it she is just visiting and then it is 'pet sitting' and then it will continue from there. Pretty sure renters insurance wouldn't cover the dog if it hurt someone. JIK you have an insurance claim. But hey MTM and a penalty why not give it a whirl? Is it in your core area so you can monitor? --24.194.xx.xx |

Pet vandalism can easily reach $5,000 plus in a rental apartment as once they leave the carpet, hardwood are finished. If they work then leave the dog in the rental unit there are going to be problems. Unless there is premium in rent to cover for damages then why go there. Usually they stay 3 to 6 months then the rental unit is completely trashed out. Why are they moving if there are no problems with the dog. Apartment living and dogs generally do not go together. On the plus side they told you where some bring in the dog later on. --147.194.xxx.xx |

If you think that a German Shepherd is on your insurance companies dangerous breed list why would you even entertain the idea of renting to her. My understanding is that in most cases if the dog bites someone the dogs owner is responsible except limited situation. But it is still recommend the LL has the proper coverage just in case an issue does arise. --71.248.xxx.xxx |

Many "tenants" want to have a "pet" but neither have the skills, knowledge or financial where with all to care for a dog, let alone a large German Shepard that have a history of having bone/hip issues. A large dog can cost thousands a year to properly care for it.

I'm sure you let them know and if you do decide to let them "in" make sure they FULLY understand no pets/ that particular dog.
On a side note (I have two for you): Check with your insurance company on the dog list. Some do, some don't. State farm does NOT have a list. Others do but not all of the dogs that you would think are on them are. Doesn't hurt to ask. At any rate - if you do allow any dog - you should have them have renters insurance with YOU named first insured.
The second note: I have in my lease the clause that states something to the effect of "NO PETS. Tenant shall not keep any pets in or on the premises unless by prior written approval by Landlord or Managing Agent. Tenant shall not “pet sit” or allow visitors to bring pets on or in the property. If pets are discovered on the property, the tenant agrees to pay a non-refundable pet fee of $500.00 per incident and Landlord may at his discretion terminate the lease or proceed with tenancy on a month to month basis adding $150.00 per month as pet rent."
This is NOT my normal pet rent, fee/deposit, etc. This is in my lease as NO PETS. If I want pets (allowed) then there is a form for them and it is much nicer. This is something where I say no pets and if I see a pet - you get hit with a hammer hard (so to speak). So don't lie :). --69.201.xx.xxx |
