Re: Who Rents To Tenants w/Big Dogs? by Anonymous on July 23, 2014 @17:52

I have a number of SFHs with backyards ranging from regular sized city lot (7,000 SF) up to 1/2 acre and I frequently rent to tenants who bring large or giant breeds. Pets treated properly (walked regularly and made a regular part of the family) are not a problem on the property; bored dogs of any size are a problem, they will dig or bark. My experience with giant breeds are they are lethargic and require a lot of sleep -- Great Danes in particular are couch potatoes. But I've had Shepherds, Labs, Rotties, etc. on my properties and not had any difficulties. Definitely use a pet addendum spelling out exactly what standard of care is required to keep a pet on the property and then check & enforce that, for the sake of the pet and your property!
