No. 1 - Consider stricter pet policies
Carpet is not a pet-friendly surface.
It absorbs odor, and can easily hold onto hair and stains.
Indoor ‘accidents’ can take an unpleasant turn, and their odor can linger long after cleanup is attempted. The best way to ensure carpet flooring can be adequately repaired and cared for on the long run is to set a higher security deposit for pet-friendly properties, which can then be utilized to repair carpet damage as needed.
Always make sure to thoroughly communicate with your tenant what kind of responsible pet care is expected for animals to continue living in the property.
