Pets are a big part of a lot of people's lives, and finding an apartment that allows them can be difficult. Many managers view pets as the cause of noise and safety issues, and damage to valuable units. If they did a little research, they would find that pets and their owners make good tenants and can increase profit margins. The pet friendly apartments in West Ashley are in demand partly because they welcome animals.
There are several factors that determine where animal owners choose to live. An apartment with only a few units may not accept pets. Larger complexes are more likely to offer space for animal owners but may restrict the size or kind of pets allowed. Cats are more frequently accepted than dogs. Reptiles of any kind may not be welcome. A lot of properties restrict residents to one animal per unit. Most complexes require some kind of down payment or deposit from tenants moving into their buildings with pets. Most of these are non-refundable.
Studies show that the majority of apartment complexes that allow pets charge more rent per unit than those that don't, and the difference in some cases is significant. If it is financially feasible, most renters don't mind paying more for the privilege of having their pets with them. Those properties with animal restrictions, such as cats only, were not able to charge as much per month as the complexes with more flexibility.
Another benefit for managers who allow animals is the length of time their residents stay as opposed to complexes with pet restrictions. Renters with pets tend to stay over three years while renters in the other complexes commonly move out after just a year. Complexes that welcome residents with pets have far fewer vacancies, which is also a cost savings. They do less advertising and marketing, and they require less maintenance than those complexes that have a high turnover rate.
Many managers of complexes believe allowing pets costs money in damage to units and causes problems with other tenants complaining about the noise. This turns out not to be true. There may be an increase in insurance rates for complexes that allow pets, but it is so insignificant that it cannot be considered an issue.
When it came down to it, reports showed that there was not much difference in the damage done to an apartment with pets and one without them. Most animal owners recognize the value of keeping their units clean and neat and their animals quiet and friendly. Complexes that allow pets often have a waiting list, and managers can select the best candidates for their units from it.
What invariably happens in complexes with restrictions against pets is that tenants keep animals illegally. It is difficult to know exactly what percentage of residents do this because most who are asked will deny having an animal. In these cases, the complexes have the issues associated with allowing pets without the benefits.
Complexes that allow pets usually have residents that are happier and less inclined to move. Most animal owners make good tenants who abide by management rules and keep their units in good condition. Allowing pets can be very good for business.
