Renter’s Choice – offering a Pet Program for that special family member

May 26, 2021 | 3:39 PM

LETHBRIDGE, AB. — It can be one of the most difficult elements for anyone seeking rental accommodation.

As a renter, you may have a family member that rental owners may frown upon, or simply not allow, and it becomes challenging to find a rental location that will accept your — pet!

Fortunately, there is a solution offered by Renter’s Choice, the local rental management company with offices in Lethbridge, Taber and Brooks.

Renter’s Choice is a full service, licensed property management company, which connects landlords with qualified tenants and it offers the Renter’s Choice Pet Program.

The Pet Program is designed to widen the potential tenant pool for property owners, by providing a safety net for those who accept tenants with domestic animals. By allowing animals into a rental, landlords are doubling their number of eligible renters, therefore lowering the vacancy time of their property, saving time and easing the financial burden that can linger during transitional periods between tenant occupancy.

The program helps eliminate the potential for pet related damage, with a plan to return a property back to rentable condition if damages do occur. The Renter’s Choice Pet Program ensures Landlords have the best possible experience, while allowing renters the ability to keep a valued member of their family close to them.

There is no enrollment fee for the Pet Program but, there is a specialized pet application to complete. Your pet will be considered, based on the results of the documentation, which assigns a “paw rating” to the pet, based on the corresponding information provided.

A fee is charged based on the “paw rating” and the fee goes into a pool of funds held by Renter’s Choice. The funds are then available to mitigate damage from pets, which exceed the security deposit. The higher the “paw rating”, the lower your monthly fee will be.

The Pet Program fund takes care of damage both inside and outside the property and will cover up to $3000 in pet-related repairs, after the security deposit is applied.
