How much is the pet deposit?

Welcome to the property management blog, our diary of our property management experience.

Suggestions for Apartment Renter Concerns:

(Pet Deposits)

You tell about the pet deposit and the prospect says,

“A $600 deposit… even with a $250 refund on move out. That’s really high!”

Try something like…

“Well, with the country setting that we are located in, your pet would have a nice large area to feel comfortable in. And we also have the lake area. I know most places don’t typically have very much room for their pets to roam around, and $250 of the deposit is refundable when you move-out. I will be available to show you our community tommorow, could you come in the morning, or would the afternoon be better for you?”

or

“I realize it is an extra cost to move in, but it helps us attract responsible pet owners who keep their apartments and our common areas from getting “doggy” . And the refundable portion rewards them for helping make our community a really nice place for people and pets. I will be available to show you our community tommorow, could you come in the morning, or would the afternoon be better for you?”

bye for now, Tron
