I can understan why landlords do not allow pets, I had to remove my carpet in the house I rent because of the dogs, I now have hardwood floors that were under the carpet in the living room and hallway, the bedroom and computer room all ready had hardwood floors. I removed the old carpet in the kitchen and paid to have the floor scraped and linoleum put in the kitchen and my landlord removed the carpet out of the bathroom because the seal under my toilet was leaking and I paid to have linoleum put in the bathroom, I even bought the linoleum that was put in the kitchen and bathroom, so I paid for my dog's mistakes, I have decided if I ever get a house of my own, I want a house with no carpets anywhere, having no carpets is best when you have pets, floors with no carpets are easier to clean if pets have accidents or get sick. So if I were a landlord and had carpets in the house I rent out, I would not allow pets. If the house had no carpets, I would rent to someone with pets.
