Tim Adams from the Petcare Information and Advisory Service (PIAS) has had great success with his PetNet TV Series which promtes responsible pet ownership in a fun up-beat format.

They recently completed a two part series on renting with pets (also featuring Pet Friendly Rentals) and it’s great that PetNet TV have provided such good coverage of the issues surrounding renting with pets.

I hope you enjoy the episodes and find them useful and you can find all of the episodes in the PetNetTV Series on YouTube.

How pets boost property prices

There is an interesting article on the Domain.com.au Blog about how ‘pets boost property prices’ which is generating quite robust discussion at the time of posting.

By interesting, I mean I’m pleasantly surprised by how many people are speaking favourably about renting to pet owners and the push for more body corporates to adopt a pet friendly policy.

While I don’t think charging pet owners a premium price is the answer, if it makes unwavering body corporates and paranoid landlords & property managers take notice and re-consider their current position, then it’s a start.

Pets are never the problem by themselves. It’s always up the owner to ensure they are a responsible pet owner and great tenant and I strongly believe that the overwhelming majority of pet owners out there are brilliant tenants and take wonderful care of their pets.

Sharing an apartment with a dog – a guide from the RSPCA ACT

The RSPCA ACT has been kind enough to provide us with a downloadable copy of their excellent guide on apartment living with a dog.

It looks at the responsibility and considerations of having a dog in an apartment (such as allergies, talking to neighbors, researching the body corporate laws), as well as profiles of dogs more suited to apartment living and how to keep your dog entertained while you’re gone.

While this guide is focused on dogs living in apartments, it’s a great read for anyone renting or living with pets and is especially valuable for those who currently live in apartment and are thinking of getting a dog.
