How do single people on a low income who have pets manage to rent somewhere? Ie) Costs are an issue because of low income and no partner to help with costs....as well as pets being a problem in rented property.
Any advice please?

hi guys
Thanks for your answers so far. Sorry, I actually meant the costs of renting, not of the pets themselves- ie) I cant imagine it would be possible to live in a house share with pets, so that means renting somewhere on my own- and that can be quite expensive.

Can I firstly say shut up to those who say get rid of your pet, I have a cat and a dog and they are family, would never get rid of them!
I had loads of trouble trying to rent with pets! But don't worry something will come along I'm moving in next week! Offer a higher deposit if you can, or offer to replace carpets or put cheap ones on top of their ones so there is no trace of pets. Say they have been to training classes even if they haven't. telling fibs about their age is also a good idea, say they are old and just want somewhere to curl up and sleep!
Hope this helps and good luck x

I'm having exactly that problem. Although I point out that she's a well behaved clean and gentle labrador I'm having a major headache trying to find somewhere low cost because I have her. There's no question of getting rid of her - she's my very loyal best friend. Maybe the answer is to take her with me when I view somewhere so they can see she's not a smelly mutt.
Unless of course you happen to be looking for somewhere in the south west of England and want to share?????

I have seen alot of "pet friendly" apartment complexes in many metropolitan areas. Some have a high pert deposit while you may find the occassional one with no or little deposit needed. Be upfront with the landlord & they may give you a break on a per month pet fee or just have you take care of any damages at the end of your lease term.

Pets can and do cause expensive damage to units. Expect to pay a hefty deposit PLUS an additional monthly amount. You may have to ask around or just call the places with "no pet" policies and volunteer to pay a deposit. Good luck!

Some apartments allow animals. Is there any way you can get your animal classified as a "service animal"? Not just for blind people, animals can be considered emotional service animals, they can calm children with ADHD for example, or for companionship. Ask your vet or a social service agency or call Guide Dogs of America and see how to get your animal classifed as a service animal. Service animals cannot be barred because they are animals if they are performing a service to you, just like a guide dog cannot be barred for a blind person. This won't help with costs, it simply helps open your options of available apartment units. Good luck!

You find a place that doesn't charge much, if anything, for pets. Then, you buy cheap food and only visit the vet for necessary shots.
