What to Expect from Your Landlord

Be Prepared...
  • Go to your local SPCA for a list of pet friendly rental facilities.
     

  • Prepare a file about you and your pet.  Include proof of spay/neuter, vaccinations, vet visits and obedience training.
     

  • Provide written references from former landlords, neighbors, trainers and your veterinarian.
     

  • Introduce your pets to your potential landlord.

 

  • Always clean up after your pet, this includes the litter box.

  • Have your pet spayed/neutered.  Call the Placer SPCA to inquire about our Spay/Neuter Assistance Program.  (916-782-7722 ext.201)

  • Train your cat to use a scratching post.

  • Trim your pet’s nails on a regular basis.

  • Provide your pet with proper exercise.

  • Never allow your animal to roam the property without a leash.

  • Keep them well groomed.

  • Provide your animal with vaccinations and parasite treatment regularly.

  • Invite your landlord into your home.

  • Be sure you have a plan in place in case of an emergency.

  • An in-depth screening process.  The landlord should check your references to ensure responsible pet ownership.

  • A written agreement.  There should be an agreement signed by both you and your landlord in    reference to your pet.  It should identify rules and regulations.

  • Pet deposit.  You may have to pay an additional pet deposit.  This  deposit is to ensure that any   damage caused by your pet will be covered.
