Why Allowing Pets in Your Rental Property Is a Smart Decision for Owners

When managed correctly, allowing pets in your rental property is not a risk, it is an opportunity. At PMI American River, we have found that pet-friendly homes rent faster, stay occupied longer, and often attract more responsible tenants. In today’s competitive rental market, offering pet accommodations has become one of the easiest ways to reduce vacancy while increasing tenant satisfaction.

Our Sacramento Property Management team understands that property owners worry about the potential for pet damage. That is why every pet-friendly home we manage is automatically protected under our Pet Protection Plan, which includes $10,000 in liability coverage and up to $1,500 in pet-caused damage protection. This required policy ensures that our owners are never left with unexpected repair bills or cleanup costs due to a tenant’s pet.

We also conduct thorough pet screening and verification before any lease is approved. Each animal is evaluated for breed, behavior, and history through a trusted third-party system that assigns a “paw score.” This helps us ensure that only well-behaved, approved pets enter your property. Combined with our regular inspections and documentation standards, you can rest assured that your home is fully protected from unnecessary risk.

At PMI American River, we believe that great Sacramento Property Management is not just about protecting investments — it is about maximizing returns through smart, risk-controlled decisions. Welcoming pets, when paired with our protection plan, helps you achieve both. Your property stays occupied, your tenants stay happy, and your investment stays secure.

For property owners who want to attract top-tier renters without sacrificing peace of mind, PMI American River’s pet-friendly approach delivers the best of both worlds. We handle the details, the documentation, and the protection, so you can focus on the results.

Experience worry-free, performance-driven Sacramento Property Management with PMI American River — where even the pets are professionally managed.
