Have your pet neutered or spayed or neutered

Besides having your pet altered, have proof of vaccinations, rabies vaccination and current county license for dogs.

​

Bring up the subject of pets in person with the property owner rather than over the phone

Personally presenting information about yourself and your pet may help convince the landlord to say yes.​​

Encourage the landlord to meet your groomed, well-behaved pet in your current home or elsewhere

Offer to sign a pet agreement/addendum and pay an additional pet deposit as necessary.

 

​Offer to have the carpets cleaned at move-out

For smaller apartments, it really doesn't cost that much and there are lots of places in SC that offer great prices on carpet cleaning. You can also rent a carpet cleaner to clean them yourself.

​Write a pet resume!

Include information such as proof of vaccinations, spay/neuter,licensing (dogs) and microchipping.Include references from your vet, groomer,dog trainer, pet sitter, whoever can vouch for your pet! List any academic achievements (dog training school).Include info like how social your dog is and that he isn't a barker when left alone, or explain that your cat religiously uses their litterbox without fail and is very clean.
