It is strictly at the Homeowner's discretion and decision, depending on the Pet and how many. Preferrably matured, trained animal under 20 lbs is usually acceptable, with a Pet Deposit of course.

I agree with Jill Murty. I would ask first. If they say it may be considered, then yes - show the property but if it is a strict "no pets allowed" policy then why waste your time showing?

If a renter was extremely interested in a property where the listing stated ''No pets", I would ask if a pet would be considered prior to showing the property.  Sometimes the landlord will consider a pet if the prospective renter has excellent credit, etc.  If it's a  definite 'No', there's no point in showing the property.

Well after learning my lesson, I generally refer renters to someone else unless they pay my fee up front or plan to buy within the year.  That weeds out the unreasonable and time wasters.

Thanks for all the input! I think many renters are willing to make an exception if they haven't had a lot of interest in their property. However, if it is in high demand and they can easily find a pet-less renter, then they are less willing.
