Landlord Tips
The demand is real
Over 60% of Louisiana households own a pet. Excluding them shrinks your applicant pool dramatically in mid-market rentals.
Price it, don’t ban it
A refundable pet deposit plus $25–50/month pet rent more than covers typical wear. Screen the pet like the tenant: references, vaccination records.
Protect the asset
Hard flooring, a pet addendum with liability language, and a documented move-in condition report keep the downside small.
