Question by Because: Got a potential tenant who owns a cat. I’m concerned about the carpeted bedroom. Any advice?
I’m a landlord and I’ve got a real strong potential tenant. They’ve got a cat. I’ve heard lots of horror stories about cats destroying carpet, very strong urine smell, etc. Is there anything I can put on the carpet that will discourage a cat from using it as a toilet?

To be honest if it is an adult cat then it will use the litter box, given that the owners keep it clean…..if they are like you said that strong of a potential tenant, then I would for sure give them a chance. I think you will be fine. And your house and carpet will be too….good luck and hope for the best.
