She showed up on moving day today with a little dog. The contracts specifically say NO PETS, but this little dog stole our hearts. My wife and I just looked at each other and said OK. Guess were just suckers. It doesnt shed and has no teeth. The dog is 10 years old. We never allow pets but since she is going through a rough divorce and child custody battle, we were taken in.We just made her sign a peice of paper that if the dog distroys the carpet, She has to pay for it. She gave us a three thousand dollar security deposit so that will more then cover it. Nice lady and I know she will be a good tenant............I Hope.[:D]I think Iam getting soft.

You let her have her dog. Good for you and you wife. Ya did right.
As others have said, there are planty of good dogs.
My mothers is 15 years old, and has never gone to the bathroom in the house to this day.
Oops, one time he did, but it was my fault.
I was staying over there when she was in the hospital and I got over late. He had held it for almost 12 hours, and finally had to let go.
He had gone on the tile, right by the door to the garage trying to get outside. No big deal.
I still foresee trouble trying to rent an apt. with them..[:(]

The only problem I see here is not the dog itself, or whether or not it may destroy something. The big problem I see is that if she knew that no pets are allowed, and she still sign the lease, she lied to you. She should have been up front and forth right about it from the start. Had she done that, and asked if you would at least meet her dog before making up your mind, then...... I myself have a hard time with people that lie for any reason... Hope she pays, I don't think I'd trust her to keep her end, she already broke the lease, why wouldn't she do it for money too. Of course this is JMO, and I hope I'm wrong. Good luck to you
I was up front about our cats with a place I wanted to buy. Got me no where. Seller did not even have the decency to call me and let me know they would be renting or selling to another.
Question, If you are buying the place, why would it make a difference if you had pets or not? If I'm selling you a house, I dont give a rats butt about what you are going to do with it, unless I was finaceing it for you
that was my first thought too.
years ago i rented out a house when i was transferred to the west coast (Army). no pets.
a year later i planned to sell the house and flew out to meet with the realtor.
the tenants had 3 dogs and at least 6 cats. the whole house smelledl like cat piss. had to replace all the carpet in the house, after using BIN sealant to all of the sub floor!
never again!!
looks Like shes planning on the Carpet
Do yourself a Favor pull up the Carpets paint/ Seal the Floors and Reinstall the Carpet...
Problem,.. throw out the Carpet Mop put in new No Urine in the Floor itself [:D][:D][:D]

Anyone or rather any idiot that puts up that for a security deposit, is usually saying there will be damage, a lot of damage...

This is the beginning of a long slippery slope.
Just a guess but the deposit was in cash. Just a stab in the dark...
If you want pets, buy a house.
