Try appealing to a different group of prospects.

Are you close enough to a campus to pick up the incoming freshman class? Now is the time to advertise on the off-campus housing network. Also..advertise at the student union.

If you lower your rent a bit and put the NO PETS in bold letters in your ad. You might pick up more because of the lower rent..and eliminate the pets owners in the process.

I do not rent to anyone with pets. ever. I rent to college kids now..and they come without pets. (their life style is too self-centered to be bothered with pet).

Try to find a new market.

"their life style is too self-centered to be bothered with pet" College students do not have pets because their lives are busy with classes and studying. They keep irregular hours and spend a lot of time in class or going home on the weekends. There is often no one home and no one to let the animal out. Another reason they do not keep pets is because some landlords "not rent to anyone with pets. ever."
