Pet-friendly rentals are becoming a \u201cmust-have\u201d for many renters. Zillow says that 46% of renters have pets, and 48% won\u2019t rent a place without that option. For many landlords, it\u2019s much easier to say \u201cno.\u201d But while they are avoiding a few risks, they are also missing out on some big benefits, including additional rental income. \xa0 There are several benefits to going \u201cpet-friendly\u201d starting with a larger pool of applicants because almost half the renter population has a pet. To offset the potential risk, many pet-friendly landlords charge an additional amount each month for the pet, along with a pet deposit. \xa0 www.NewsForInvestors.com
