No scratches, no stains, no noise complaints\u2014problem solved, right? But here\u2019s the catch: a strict \u201cno pets\u201d policy could actually cost you more than it saves.Nearly 70% of U.S. households have a pet, which means saying \u201cno\u201d cuts out most of your potential renters. Pet-friendly homes attract stronger applicants, rent faster, and often command higher rent or fees. Even better? Pet owners are more likely to stay long-term, saving you turnover headaches.And here\u2019s the real kicker: tenants with Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) can bypass \u201cno pet\u201d rules altogether. So instead of shutting the door, smart landlords open it\u2014with pet rent, deposits, and clear rules that keep everyone happy. The truth? Allowing pets isn\u2019t a risk, it\u2019s an opportunity."}
