Are you a property manager or landlord looking to cut through the competition with a cutting-edge pet-friendly policy that keeps the profits soaring and the smiles on clients' (& tenants') faces? Given the surge in pet ownership and the rental market's growing demand for pet-friendly accommodations, it's time to ask yourself a critical question – can you afford not to be pet-friendly?
In this exhaustive guide, we will show you not only why you should be eager to roll out the welcome mat for your tenants' four-legged companions but also how our ground-breaking PMAssist Pet Damage Guarantee Program will become your new best friend in the realm of property management.
The Pawsitive Impact of Pet-Friendly Policies
Arguably, the most evident advantage of a pet-friendly approach is a substantial increase in tenant applications and lease renewals. It's no secret that pets are family members for many people, and the prospect of finding a home that accommodates the whole family – fur and all – is a powerful tenant magnet.
Furthermore, pet-friendly properties often command premium rents, inflating your bottom line without incurring significant additional costs. In the USA, for example, tenants in households with pets spend on average $1,560 per year on rent, against the $1,155 forked out by their non-pet counterparts. Those numbers don't just bark - they roar.
But what about the inevitable apprehension about potential pet-related damages? The real estate field has long been apprehensive about this hairy issue. Traditional security deposits often fall short, and disputes about what constitutes pet-related damage are thorny and can erode landlord-tenant relations quickly.
Our Innovative Pet Damage Guarantee Program
The PMAssist Pet Damage Guarantee Program isn’t just about protecting against damages – it’s a holistic approach to encourage responsible pet ownership while safeguarding your investment.
We'll take you through a step-by-step process that turns your concerns into a competitive advantage, without fetching security deposit replacements or engaging in disputes with tenants.
Understanding Breed Restrictions
Every property manager’s initial foray into pet policies involves unraveling breed restrictions. Our program provides clear guidelines to help you make informed, fair, and effective decisions. We dissect common exclusionary breeds not to perpetuate stereotypes but to address legitimate safety concerns and mitigate risks.
But we're also about inclusivity. An exhaustive focus on breeds isn't just about who's out; it's about ensuring that those in are unequivocally welcome without compromising safety standards.
Screening Pets and Owners
Safeguarding a property is often about people as much as it is about pets. Our program assists you in crafting a pet screening process that isn’t opaque or unfair. We assist in establishing clear behavioral expectations for pets and owners. A screening process that might seem exhaustive is a time-saver in the long run by only approving pets and tenants for which your property is best suited.
This isn't about shutting doors; it's about opening them for pets and their responsible owners.
The Cornerstone - Pet-Specific Lease Agreements
We will arm you with the pet-specific language that nails down responsibilities and consequences. A detailed pet lease agreement, fine-tuned by the PMAssist program, is your contract’s best friend, outlining initial pet fees, daily concerns, and resolution paths in the event of disputes.
Pet-friendly? More like profit-friendly. Our program ensures that being pet-friendly doesn't leave you out of pocket when it comes to property maintenance and repairs.
Regular Inspections Maintain Peace
Prevention is better – and cheaper – than cure, especially when it comes to pet damage. Our innovative approach to regular inspections is not about policing pets; it's about being proactive in maintaining a harmonious environment for all residents. It also presents an excellent opportunity to engage with your tenants positively.
Inspections are also an outstanding chance to spot areas that might need preventive maintenance, often saving pet owners from liabilities they might not have noticed and preventing more significant issues for property managers.

Consider this the collar with the customized tag proudly displaying your property's immunity against pet-related damages. Our Pet Damage Guarantee is revolutionary. We believe in the peace of mind it warrants for landlords and tenants alike, and we’re ready to put our money where our mouth is.
This is not some run-of-the-mill warranty. It’s a testament to our confidence in our Pet Damage Guarantee Program. We reimburse for qualifying damages, alleviating concerns, and nurturing the trust between tenants and property managers.
