However, in the year we’ve been renting, we have had numerous problems. Therefore we have the following policies: Pets are not allowed on the beds or furniture. Clean up after your pet if they go in the yard, there is a poop scooper usually on the deck. We have a roll of green temporary fence on the corner of the front deck. If you like, this can be used to keep your pets on the deck. It attaches using the hooks on the rail and the house. We also have two child gates inside if you would like to keep your pet on the main floor where there is no carpet. It is imperative that you keep your dog(s) on a leash when outside. There are several (really nice) older people in our neighborhood who frequently walk their dogs without leashes, as well as guests in the main house with dogs sometimes. If your pet goes to the bathroom on the carpet, clean it up or we will charge for professional cleaning. Failure to follow these rules will result in a minimum $500 additional cleaning fee.
