A Question For Landlords- Would You Prefer Tenant A, B, Or C?
Posted by: Alan in Cat Health Problem, tags: Landlords, Prefer, Question, Tenant, WouldLets say that the rules of your apartment complex are this:
-max of two pets
-no rodents (only dogs, cats, birds, and fish allowed)
-all pets must be up-to-date on vaccinations
-all pets must be monitored outside, wear a leash and have stool picked-up after
-no dogs over 40 pounds
Tenant A-
elderly married couple and their grown son
each work hourly-rate type jobs
has a 12 pound dog
allows dog to roam around outside without supervision
does not pick-up after dog’s stool
the dog has had no training, no socialization, and can sometimes be mildly aggressive
also has a caged bird
keeps bird in ridiculously small cage with no toys or companionship
small cage leads to bird being bored
being bored leads to bird constantly squawking loudly
neither dog nor bird ever see the vet- both in poor health and poor hygiene
besides a dirty bird cage, the apartment is always very clean and well kept
they always pay their rent in full, and generally they always pay it on time
Tenant B-
young married couple
husband in the military, wife a stay-at-home student and mom-to-be (pregnant)
have 5 pets
one dog that is 48 pounds
the dog is walked on a leash several times a day
and the dog’s stool is always picked up after
the dog is in a training class, very well behaved and friendly
one cat that is strictly indoor
uses the litter box religiously (litter box cleaned daily-no smell)
and three hamsters whom each have large escape-proof cages
hamster cages are cleaned every week (no smell issues)
all 5 of the pets see the vet regularly, are up-to-date on vaccinations and in good health
the dog and the cat get baths once every month, so are in good hygiene
the apartment is always kept clean and well kept
they always pay their rent in full and they always pay it on time
Tenant C-
middle aged married couple with one young adult son
husband works hourly rate, wife on disability, son dropped school and now is in an unsuccessful band
has no pets
however plays their music loudly
keeps the apartment some-what clean…however not as clean as it could be
pays the rent almost everymonth…however every month there’s a problem:
either the rent is late
or the rent is not paid in full
or both
so who would you most prefer to rent to?
who would you least prefer to rent to?
