I am a (good) landlord….and do not want to rent to someone with a pet. Therefore, will take property off rental market if necessary.
Having downsized to apartment living, I can fully understand residents concerned about free for all with pets…yapping & barking being major problems, as well as not being properly trained.
It is not as simple to “evict” an animal as it is made out to be. And can easily cause ill will amongst residents.
We were always pet owners until downsizing.
