I let a tenant in with a rabbit and she has not looked after it very well. There is an odour in the unit, an animal odour. Now she is leaving and I have to show the unit with the rabbit and its odour in situ. In Ontario tenants give 60 days notice and showings are conducted during the notice period in an effort to find tenants without vacancy in between tenants. Because of the rabbit I may be out of luck this time. That thing may cost me $1,400 in a month's vacancy while I scrub with Nature's Miracle and deodorise and otherwise fix this problem. Had I to do it over again that pesky rabbit would be residing in someone else's rental unit. My advice is don't do this. --174.93.xx.xxx

is your applicant 6 years old? --24.62.xxx.xxx

By the way don't think for a minute that the tenant is not letting Mr. Hoppy out all over the unit to run around when you are not there. Rabbits can do damages like other animals. I have regrets about my decision to let this one in. Needless to say any mention of odours however distinctive they may be is met with robust denials of any problem. --174.93.xx.xxx

They chew on trim and things. They poop everywhere. It just falls out. If they can leave it let them leave it. If it's part of the package then get a move in pet fee, pet rent and more unit deposit. --99.203.xx.xx

I'd probably go over with papers on some pretext for getting additional information, and ask to meet the rabbit in person. Then you could do a quick visual and smell test, see how the rabbit was kept, whether it was litterbox trained if it roams free, and so on. --96.46.xxx.xx

They will let it run around just like a cat or dog,they are litter trained pretty easily.they will chew up trim etc. --72.231.xxx.xxx

Had a friend with a rabbit back in the day, pooped everywhere. It had a litter box but didn't seem to use it all the time, only if it were right there. --50.82.xxx.xx

I had a bad tenant with a rabbit and then two of them. The damage they did was to chew on the vinyl tile in the dining area where she kept them. They had litter boxes but of course just peed on the tiles. They chew electric wires and electrocute themselves often but that did not happen here. The big problem was that the owner was allergic to the hay they ate. So she left the windows open in some rooms and inch or two in all weather. That raised the heat bills but she would turn the heat down (menopausal) and that concerned me. She left windows open and left the house. I sent notices. She ignored them. She left the basement Bilco door open often while she washed and that brought mold into the house and then she complained about it to the health department but they don't bother with mold here in my town. She got a mold kit from Home Depot so I got a professional. He told her to shut the windows and run the AC. She left after not paying the month's rent and partly due to her job moving. So it's not the rabbit. It's the crazy that own a rabbit. Now after seeing Marlon Bundo and his little book I am thinking they might be OK with the right owner. --173.61.xxx.xx

Same experience w acquaintance, rabbit out of cage strong odor --100.2.xx.xxx

Depends on the rabbit and the owner. I know someone that has an indoor rabbit as a pet. I would have no issue renting to her and the rabbit. Having said that, my daughter had rabbits, caged and outdoors but they didn’t always use their litter box. Other than brief times she brought them into the house, I would not have wanted them living inside. --24.61.xxx.xx

I entered a house for sale once a few years back and they requested us to "remove our shoes". I was ok with it until I saw the rabbit in the middle of the living room (in it's cage) with stuff (hay/stray, poop, etc) strewn all around the cage onto the floor. I didn't remove my shoes. --209.217.xxx.xx

This wasn't the end of the world. As a trust fund grand daughter, she disposed of her cloths and rabbit and got her trust to buy her all new cloths, $20,000 plus... --47.156.xx.xx

My hound dog loved them. Lunch. --73.120.xx.xxx

Last month I had new tenants literally pull a rabbit out of the hat on me. It was two sisters and their mother was at signing of Lease. When we got to pets part of Lease and I was going over the policy and they were a "No Pets" rental their mother mentioned they had just gotten a rabbit. I said very quietly, " You said no pets on the application." They had just been given rabbit by the other grandma. The question was to fold up and go or charge more rent. They agreed to higher rent, but I am doing monthly visits because rabbits are rodents and rodents grow teeth lifelong and have to gnaw. --216.23.xxx.xx

I’d tell them to leave the rabbit at home. Rabbits smell and chew everything. Some responsible people have rabbits in their home and take very good care of them, changing the bedding/chips, cleaning the cage etc etc, but notice I said in their home. When they purchase their own home they can keep 1 inside, until then keep them out of mine. --71.248.xxx.xxx
