Pet-friendly rentals

Pets are not always allowed in rental properties, which can present a challenge for those hoping to bring their animals with them.  It should also be noted that some landlords may be open to negotiation about allowing pets in their properties. Normally, where an agreement is reached it is subject to a higher deposit and payment for carpet cleaning at the end of the tenancy. It is always worth speaking with the landlord or landlord's agent about this possibility.
