Responsibilities of Tenants to their Pets
Pets can be a great source of companionship; mostly pet owners treat them as a friend or a family, p particularly for older people who live alone and can reduce the feelings of loneliness and for children, pet ownership can encourage responsibility.
However pets always require considerable attention and owners need to be aware of their responsibilities towards other tenants who doesn’t have animals or not pet friendly. Tenant should be aware of the conditions set down in their tenancy agreement to the landlord which everyone or other tenants’ signs at the start of their tenancy.
Each owner has a responsibility for the actions of their pets and the damage they cause at the rental unit. Animals or pets must not cause trouble to your neighbors, such as: bad odors, noise such as constant barking or meowing, or unsanitary stage such as build up of fecal or urine, or damage to your apartment or your neighbors’ unit, etc.
As the tenant of one rental unit; your obligations remain with or without a pet:
- Always keep the rental property clean and in good condition.
- Tenant should comply the by-laws regarding pets.
- Keep your household and your pet behave so you can’t disturb other tenants or the landlord.
- When the lease will end, you must return the rental unit to the landlord in the same condition in which the tenant received it. Clean and in good condition.
- If the unit has damage makes report to the landlord or if you can handle the repairs needed do it by yourself so you can get the deposit back from the landlord.

I do not list homes with renters here. My contract says if an owner rents the house while it's listed, the contract is considered cancelled and the cancellation fee will be paid.
I don;t have tie to fool with renters. They are a pain in the butt
