Will a cat ruin or beat up a brand new luxury condo with brand new hardwood floors, cabinets, carpets?
I recently bought a brand new luxury condo that’s over 1,000 square feet in a major city. I was relocated with work and this potential home is now an investment property. There hasn’t been much interest to rent, and now we have a tenant ready to move ASAP. Here’s the catch: the tenant has a cat. I’m worried the cat will beat up the condo over time even if it’s de-clawed. There is carpet in the bedrooms and high end finishes throughout. I’m unsure if it’s worth the risk.
No. If her kitty is properly litter trained there is no problem.
Just ask for a 3 month inspection – see how it’s looking. Then you can put her on a one year lease assuming all is well. Most pay an extra $20/month per pet.
You can also pick a time each year, say October 1st to replace the batteries in the smoke detectors. That’s an opportunity for you to get into the unit and make sure all is well.
I agree with the lady above, children do more damage than a well-behaved cat. Cats are some of the best pets. Dogs would scratch the heck out of the wood floors.
People can damage units by smoking, partying, tracking in grease, BBQ’ing on decks and breaking things or starting fires. The people upstairs stink up their unit with cigarette smoke, we don’t smoke but it filters thru the vents.
So all in all, I would not hesitate to rent to a person that has a pet ktty assuming it’s litter trained and the person is tidy and responsbile. Get good references. Like most things in life, you have to take “some” chances.
Perhaps renting is not really for you if you have undue anxiety regarding the rental issues.
