But no....you all have your assumptions about people with pets and the mess it leaves and won't even check references on that person.
Peeves me off that I get judged like that. When I've sold houses in the past a comment I get is that people can't believe we have pets given how clean our house is.
But yet...you judge me as a bad person to rent to without even knowing me. That really bothers me. I bet as a pet owner, I'm a hell of a lot more responsible than a lot of these other people out there blowing their pay cheques on Friday night booze binges and making excuses for why the rent is 6 weeks in arrears and claiming the ciggarette marks on the carpet aren't theirs.

I agree 100%. I have two cats and a dog, we are very responsible with our pets. You would not know we have pets in our place, in our two years here there has been no damage done.
A responsible person is a responsible person, whether they have pets or not. As a landlord I would judge the person based on references etc. If they were tall good, I wouldn't care if they had a pet,
of course I would take an extra deposit of a couple hundred bucks just to be safe.
