Why is it hard to find apartments that allows pets and is close to college campus?

Is it because people don't want pets by busy streets? I swear, its impossible to find one.|||The reason is that many landlords are wary of the potential damage those pets could do. Some pet owners are not remotely responsible for their pets and let them destroy places. I've known landlords who have been left with apartments with urine and sh*t stains and smells, scratches on the walls and wooden doors and also chewed up corners on the walls or on other stuff around the house. Unfortunately some very irresponsible pet owners have ruined it for future tenants who are responsible pet owners.





Even with a pet damage/security deposit, some landlords still don't feel comfortable renting to people who have pets because the damages might exceed the deposit and some tenants who bail end up disappearing.|||Pets, regardless of how sweet or cute, can cause a lot of damage in little time. Couple that a tenant pool of mostly eighteen to twenty-four year olds (who btw are also more likely to cause damage) it's not surprising that you're having trouble finding one. Many landlords allow pets, while requiring pet fees and deposits, you may have to look a little further out from campus to find them though.|||It will be close to impossible, as college student generally do not have time for pets and bored pets tear things up, like the floor, the walls, etc.





You will need to either commute in and live further away, or lose the animal.|||I never had a problem finding places - I just had to pay more.
