[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a renter with no dogs (or cats). I have two toddlers. The two toddlers are very hard on things. [b]Not sure why people think dogs are worse than kids![/b] Landlord will need to re-carpet the stairs BIG TIME![/quote]

Not sure they do, but since kids are human, and an integral part of the families seeking housing, there are rules against discrimination that apply. (Yeah, I know... bite me, doggie mommies.)

No question kids accelerate wear and tear, but dogs really do leave many more reminders of their presence than can be easily removed. I rented immediately after dog-owning tenants once. Aside from the trashed carpet that needed replacing, and yes, the stubborn smell, I had to clean dog hair out of the dishwasher when I moved in-- and this was after the "professional, deep" cleaning it received whose cost was deducted from the previous tenant's deposit.

There probably is a market for pet-friendly rentals in dog-heavy neighborhoods. But I don't see why an owner should necessarily feel any need to put up with pets where the rental market is competitive and when dog owners are not a protected group.[/quote]
