Tenant asked about a dog door. How did you handle it?

Great tenants, they've asked to install a dog door in the laundry. Do you say yes, with conditions, or no?

Yes, with conditions in writing: a licensed installer, and restored at the end of the lease if you ask.

The rules on pets and modifications differ by state. In New South Wales, Fair Trading covers it: fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/housing-and-property/renting

Good tenants are worth a small door. Get the conditions written into a variation.

Going with yes and conditions. Thanks all.

We said yes and they renewed for two more years. Best decision we made.
