I Have a Pet, Can I Still Rent?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

YES! At Renter\u2019s Choice, we LOVE pets! That\u2019s why have taken steps to help keep housing accessible for families with pets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Renter\u2019s Choice Program is an in-house program designed to encourage property owners to consider accepting tenants with domestic animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding the perfect home to rent is a challenge, add a family pet to the mix and you cut out a huge portion of your suitable options. The Renter\u2019s Choice Pet Program will take extreme pressure off pet friendly families and individuals, by having formally pet-prohibited houses and apartment buildings change their stance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the hope of Renter\u2019s Choice & Management that this program will help to ease the gap between landlord and tenant expectations, placing more tenants and filling more rentals. It is a win-win plan for Renter\u2019s Choice staff, for tenants, for landlords, and especially \u2013 for pets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does our Pet Program Work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Complete an application for each pet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Submit vet documents & other letters of support. Two references for pets must be provided from someone other than friends and family members. References can include landlords, neighbours, pet sitters, etc. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The more information you provide, the higher the paw rating.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The higher the paw rating, the lower the monthly pet fee.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    If approved, your pet will receive their very own Paw Rating certificate that is useable for any of our Pet Program participating properties!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
