Whether you are already in Edmonton or planning to move here from overseas, finding a pet friendly rental apartment in Edmonton can be overwhelming, especially in the already so competitive apartment market. Below are a few tips to help you find your dream rental apartment and keep your pets together:
Landlords Don't Hate Pets The first thing you need to realize is how comfortable is your prospective landlord with pets or animals. Often the reason why a landlord doesn't accept pets is due to the inconvenience with a past tenant who did not care enough about his pet. This makes them anxious about accepting pets in future. Being acquainted with the landlord's concern can help you share your case to him. Meet the Landlord in Person We all know how difficult it is to make a good impression over the phone. Your prospective landlord would already have talked to more than 20 people, so the initial screening could be to rule out the ones with pets. You obviously can make more of a positive impact in person. So, meet the landlord in person and hold on to mentioning your pet until you have discussed the initial details about the rental apartment. Disclose the News Slowly Disclosing the news in the start may offend the owner and hence you might not get a chance to develop a good relation with the owner. Wait to share this news until you have developed a comfortable dialogue. Make an impression so that the landlord likes you enough to prefer you and your pet over the past tenants they have had. Have References If possible, get your past landlords as references. This can be very helpful if the landlord is dodging your bet. Provide them numbers that they can call to speak for you as a quality tenant. On the other side, make sure that you let your past landlords know that someone would be inquiring about you. Offer Additional Pet Security One of the reasons that landlords avoid renters with pets is that they are worried about the additional expenses that they will have to pay when you and your pet will move out. This includes painting the scratched walls, replacing carpets, and ruined landscape. By offering an additional security deposit to cover the damages your pet might cause, you can help put the concerns of the landlord at ease. Mainstreet’s rental apartments offer family and pet friendly spacious apartments and suites close to all amenities. Mainstreet Edmonton Apartments for Rent are deliberately situated near all the important amenities making it very convenient for the renters to get around.
