Going BR..NEED TO RENT..WITH PET ?!

DEBT_23

im viweing a house tomorrow round corner from my house at moment, it is up thru a agent and states no pets.
i have one dog a little staff that i wont part with. ..end of !
anyhow i have never rented in my life and unsure as to whether i wud get away with it, i work shifts so LL would have to give my notice so i can be in. i dont plan on telling them.. is that silly ?
I aint seen any houses nr me that welcome pets.. if only the LL could see how clean and smell free my house is. u wudnt kno i had a little dog.

You could risk it - BUT, you would face loosing your tenancy if they found out. Is there no one the dog could stay with until you get somewhere that will take a dog?

tbh i dont intend to move about, i have my eye on that house. as its very cheap rent to what most are round here. in the street i want.
I have my uncle who lives a few doors down from the house, i could always say im mindin her ?!?

What I would do in your circumstances is if you like the property that much offer a further deposit of £100 and reassure the landlord/agent that your pet/s are not likely to cause any damage but you will ensure that any damage made will be made fit when you move out.

A lot of landlords are happy with this arrangement but just don't advertise it! I live in rented accomodation with a dog, 3 cats, 2 rabbits, 1 hamster and 2 fish tanks! LMAO! I spoke to my neighbour at the weekend and mentioned that I dreamed of getting a 2nd dog, their response was they'd probably prefer that over Sky being installed!!!!! They didn't have TV's in the house when they lived here! :-O But they have recently agreed to Sky as the reception here is terrible!

Anyway, off on a tandem with that! Be honest and offer a deposit and you won't be caught out!

Don't know if this helps but my daugter was after a house but they refused cause she had a dog(a staffie too)so 6 mths later they ask i she is still interested. It appears they did the house up and wanted to sell but because of the house market they decided to rent and allow the dog. Me personally would speak to LL and explain everything,dog,bc ect. There is no way you want to be looking over your shoulder every 2 mins. Have you not spent enough time on tenderhooks as it is without doing it again on your new journey. Start as you mean to go on.D

yes i will do i will try and get LL details , i jst hope the agent isnt funny, i kno the LL go thru a agency for a reason but if im thinkin of commitin to this house for a good while ( approx 4 yrs to save for a deposit to start again) i would want his phone number and not the agents !!
as for offering more deposit and reassurance in replacing things ( tho my dog is 3yrs old and never done a thing wrong) brilliant trainer... lol and bread of course i would rather speak to LL direct with regard to this than the agent.

also the house has been empty for a good while. thats why its reduced

I agree - it's best to be honest about it. You don't want neighbours grassing you up if you have a falling out or just don't get on. You might be pleasantly surprised. We are looking to rent and have a chocolate lab and a ginger cat and more than half the properties we have looked at have said they will accept pets. Some have required a higher deposit, but even those who say 'no pets' on the details have changed their minds once we have asked outright. Good luck and I hope this place works out for you.

could be worse...........you could have kids!!!

No chance renting where i am if you have kids:rolleyes:


Thing i dont get is we live in whats classed as a nice area (apparently ) with a lot of 4-5 bedroom homes to let, but no kids or pets allowed

I dont get it myself, why does a single or childless couple want a 4-5 bedroom house

Sorry thats of no use to you DEBT_23, just bugs the hell out of me:rolleyes:

DEBT_23

haha no kids in a 4-5 bed house.. maybe they just want professional single people.. til they had kids and have to move away !! wouldnt mind my dog is super. if only he cud come to my house and see he wudnt even think i have a pet !!

DEBT_23

aggh quick i have misread the advert .. Doh !! it says NO DSS/pets considered... so maybe that will be a yes.. what i idiot lol i didnt read it right.. mite b ok after all.
i aint even BR yet ( ring crt on thurs) and im already feeling happy...

Way to go debt_. Good luck.The LL may be willing to do private rental,rather than agents,will be cheaper for him. Any chance your uncle knows who the LL is?D
