A morning a few years ago we received a questionnaire from a client who was relocating to Madrid to settle down with his family and his pet. The surprise was to see that it was not one pet but several: 2 dogs, 2 cats and 1 parrot!<\/p>\n
To further complicate the situation, they wanted to live downtown because of the school they preferred.<\/p>\n
\u2014Luckily this is not normal \u2014says Paloma cautiously.
\n\u2014Right! but 1 dog or maximum 2 dogs is very common \u2014answers Almudena, stating the difficulty of some assignments.
\n\u2014Or 1 cat.
\n\u2014Also, a tiny little fish
\n\u2014And what about the classic pet bird?<\/p>\n
The truth is that finding a home to rent with a pet adds trouble. Many landlords are reluctant to accept tenants with pets because they feel that their property may suffer more damage: scratches, odors, etc. Moreover, some refuse straightforwardly, even in the ads.<\/p>\n
\u2014Of course it depends a lot on whether it’s a huge Mastiff or a mini Chihuahua \u2014observes Almu.
\n\u2014Absolutely! For this matter, the smaller the pet, the easier to get the owner to accept \u2014agrees Palo.
\n\u2014Agree!<\/p>\n
Being realistic in our expectations is critical to our success in finding a home. It\u2019s important to know that we are going to encounter additional difficulties when moving with our pets.<\/p>\n
The biggest difficulties are when renting homes with well-kept gardens or furnished ones. Keep in mind that everything can be solved with organization and planning.<\/p>\n
\u2014Well, let me know what happened to the Bruggers and their dogs and cats?
\n\u2014And don\u2019t forget about their parrot!
\n\u2014Yeah!
\n\u2014The truth is, they had to give up living in a flat downtown.
\n\u2014Kind of logical.
\n\u2014We found a cozy home with a pet lover landlord and at a reasonable distance from the school.
\n\u2014And they were lucky that the school moved closer to their home.
\n\u2014Well, name it good luck or information.
\n\u2014I would say that they were lucky enough to find people with information.<\/p>\n
You may need to make some adjustments to your zone<\/strong> preferences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s also common for homeowners to accept a higher security deposit<\/strong> as a guarantee. This deposit will be returned at the end of the contract as long as the property is in good condition.<\/p>\n It\u2019s convenient to leave aside the options that expressly indicate that they do not accept pets<\/strong> no matter how much in love you may have fallen with the photos. It’s a waste of time.<\/p>\n For this and many other reasons, you should gather as much information as possible about Madrid and its customs beforehand. And the easier to collect it, the better.<\/p>\n In The secret of relocating to Madrid<\/i><\/a> you\u2019ll find all the information you need to find your new home in Madrid in just 2 weeks. And if you need more help, with the organization or accompanying you, check out our services<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the meantime, you can receive regular information by filling out this questionnaire.
