That said, landlords who are open-minded when it comes to welcoming pets into their properties need to take care. Make sure you register your deposit<\/a>, carry out thorough inventories and even do regular checks on the property \u2013 you don\u2019t want to discover your renting out a zoo…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
