Editor's note:
When Jim and I visited California a few years ago, thinking we mightmove there, we were horrified to discover that most apartments did not allow cats. Up here in western Washington, nearly every apartment complex is pet-friendly. Therefore, I am thrilled with this news. Hope you will be, too.
Rental Homes, Condos, And Pets
How many more millions of dogs and cats would have homes
if more rental properties and Condos allowed them? The
fact is, about half of all renters have pets. Landlords
can have fewer vacancies if they allow furry tenants. To
encourage pet-friendly landlords, the Humane Society of
the United States has launched
www.rentwithpets.org.
Landlords can use the Web site to find sample leases and
pet policies, as well as tips on identifying responsible
pet owners. For pet owners, the Humane Society suggests
developing a "pet resume," complete with references from
a former landlord and your veterinarian.
