"What do you mean 'we can't come'?"

When looking for a home to rent, many people have pets that are a factor in deciding which home to choose.  Some may find, however, that just because the landlord allows pets, does not mean that THEIR pet may be allowed.

In general, when it comes to a pet addendum, Chows, Pit Bulls, Dobermans, wolves, wolf hybrids, Rotties, German Shepherds, and Akitas are not allowed, including mixes with only part of one or more of these breeds. While this may seem cruel, who’s decision was it? The home owner’s, the property management company’s?

Sadly, these decisions aren’t left up to us. We at A Better Realty are dog lovers ourselves, and if it were up to us it would be different. This rule comes directly from the insurance company, however, and is out of our power. We must follow the insurance companies’ guidelines, or else we can’t rent the home in the first place!
