The Ultimate Guide to Renting with a Pet

Renting with a pet can be a challenge, but with Fairfield Property Management, it doesn't have to be. Our team understands the importance of finding a home that is both comfortable for you and your pet, and we are here to help. Here is a guide to help you through the process of finding a pet-friendly property at one of many FPM locations.

 Before you start your search, it's important to know the rental rules, breed restrictions, and pet deposit requirements. Our team can help guide you through this process.

Browse pet-friendly properties: Fairfield Property Management has a wide selection of properties that accept pets. You can browse our listings online or reach out to one of our agents to help find the perfect pet-friendly home for you.

Prepare your pet’s documentation: List your pet's information, such as their breed, age, weight, and behavior history. This can be a helpful tool to show the on-site team members that your pet is well-behaved and trustworthy. Our team members can assist you with creating your pet documentation.

Get ready for pet interviews: Some communities may want to meet your pet before they agree to rent to you. This is your chance to show off your pet's good behavior and prove that they are well-trained and well-behaved. Our on-site team members can help prepare you for pet interviews.

Offer a pet deposit: This is a fee that is paid upfront to cover any potential damages that your pet may cause to the rental property. Our team can advise you on the appropriate amount for a pet deposit.

Be a responsible pet owner: When you move in, be sure to clean up after your pet and keep your apartment free of pet hair and odors. Be mindful of your pet's behavior and always keep them under control.

Keep your pet healthy: Regular vet visits and vaccinations can help keep your pet healthy and reduce the risk of any accidents or illnesses that could harm them or your rental property.

Provide references: Our agents can help you gather these references.

At Fairfield Property Management, we are dedicated to making the rental process as smooth and stress-free as possible, especially when it comes to finding a pet-friendly apartment home. Our on-site team members are here to assist you every step of the way.
