    That’s most countries, afaik. Not all owners do that, ofc, but still. Sadly, pet owners looking for rent always have a harder time finding a place.

      In Ontario, Canada, landlords can reject your rental application if you have pets but they can’t kick you out so I always just lie and say I don’t have pets :)

        Can confirm. Plastic on couch armrests and carpets rolled and stuffed in a corner to prevent cats from destroying them and that’s about it, thankfully.

            That cats look for places to sharpen their claws? Or that I’m protecting other people’s property to avoid being asked to pay for them?

              Wear and tear on the carpet is normal, you are depriving yourself comfort. Fluffy rugs can work. If sofas aren’t yours then that’s fair, I plonk scratching posts on the corner and redirect energy.

                Ah, I see what you mean. Fair enough. And I’ve got my own rugs, yeah, place was too empty without. And yeah, got scratching posts and alternatives around, ofc.
