Here are some tried and true tips to properly pet-proof your own property:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Add basic balcony nets. <\/b>If your unit has a balcony, consider installing a basic balcony net across the balusters. This simple safety precaution will keep your client\u2019s animals safe from scary falls.<\/li>\n<li><b>Get durable upholstery. <\/b>Wear and tear is inevitable when there are animals in the house. One surefire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apartmenttherapy.com\/pet-proofing-hacks-and-tips-37081084\">pet-proofing tip<\/a> is to use durable, stain-proof upholstery such as leather, tightly woven fabrics, or thick canvas to prevent damage to furniture.<\/li>\n<li><b>Use trash cans with pet-proof lids. <\/b>A trash can with this type of lid can easily stop wayward animals from getting into the garbage. It\u2019s also a great bin type for storing away smelly trash or food waste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While these safety precautions are important, you\u2019ll also want to ensure that your home is comfy for animals too. Here are some fun ideas to create a friendly space in your unit:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Designate condo play areas. <\/b>Consider setting up an area in your home for your clients\u2019 furry friends to play in, like a certain corner of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/ph\/en\/rooms\/living-room\/gallery\/pet-friendly-living-room-pubc8a0a940\">living room<\/a>. This play area can house dog beds, cat trees, a fish tank, or other spaces for animals.<\/li>\n<li><b>Provide simple storage. <\/b>Make sure to include accommodations for storage near these play areas. This is so that your tenants can neatly put away their fur baby\u2019s toys, or even their own animal cleaning supplies.<\/li>\n<li><b>Add color to outdoor spaces. <\/b>Instead of laying out plain rubber mats for tenants to use around their outside spaces, opt for colorful coverings and patterned mats instead.
