In response to the spout bashing landlords, as a landlord I can

Wildwood Crest - In response to the spout bashing landlords, as a landlord I can tell you that we have a very good reason for not allowing pets. I used to allow pets but unfortunately irresponsible tenants ruined it for themselves by not cleaning up properly after their pets, allowing them to leave scratches, or allowing incessant barking. The last time I rented to pet owners the entire living room carpet had to be replaced due to pet feces and urine that had been allowed to soak into the carpet right down to the floorboards. Never again.
