Keep in mind though that as part of a rental unit’s security, an additional deposit might be requested of you in case of damages your pet/s might cause. The deposit amount can depend on the rental unit (from 25% up to 50%) or it can be negotiated with the owner so make sure you clarify this. Moreover, most rental properties that allow pets in their units have longer rental terms than others which can make things difficult if you’re not planning on staying long in that area.

Besides this, other clauses in the lease can be added to accommodate your furry animal with you. Due to this, it’s best you talk to a property agent as soon as possible to help you with the terms.
