Carod Properties is a pet friendly company. Our office manages single family residences, so every landlord we work with has the option of allowing pets or not allowing pets. However, our overall recommendation is that pets be allowed.
Pet Restrictions and Fees
Our pet policy is that animals are permitted as long as they are less than 50 pounds. We also require the tenant to pay a nonrefundable $500 pet fee to the owner, and we need to be sure the pet is not included on the list of aggressive dog breeds.
Prior Notice of Pets
Tenants who are pet owners are welcome to reside in one of our properties that allow pets. We ask for prior notice of your pet before you sign the lease. Tenants need to understand that at any time during the tenancy if we find a pet that has not been approved, the tenant may be required to remove the pet and still pay the nonrefundable $500 pet fee.
Pet Damage
Owners often ask if that pet fee will cover all the potential damages. There is no way to tell until the tenant moves out. Pets are wonderful parts of our families. But they have been known to cause damage to rental properties. There might be pet stains on the carpet or scuffing on 
the walls or chewing on drywall. Sometimes, pets will dig in the yard.
Every landlord has the option of electing whether or not to have a pet friendly home. If you have any questions about pet policies or what to do, please contact us at Carod Properties, and we’ll tell you more about how to manage pets.
