FiFinding a Pet-Friendly Home in Phnom Penh
For many families and individuals, their beloved dog or cat is much more than just a pet but part of the family, so when relocating to another country or a new home, your next home must accommodate them as well.
Naturally looking for a pet-friendly property in Phnom Penh is a challenge, so don’t be too surprised to find out that the majority of serviced apartments do not allow pets. Most property management corporations or serviced apartment building owners want to secure the state of their units or houses by assuring no unnecessary damages and possible disruption to other tenants during the tenancy of the lessee.
Generally speaking, only private apartments or privately owned condos allow pets. Moreover, bear this in mind, apart from the apartment’s security deposit, an additional deposit might be required to cover the potential tears and damages caused by the pets. The amount of the pet deposit varies depending on the owners (between 25% to 1 month of the rental). It is subject to negotiation!
Property Type to Consider:
There are numerous property types on the market, but not all of them will allow your pet. Check below to help you decide which property type commonly welcomes your pet:
- Serviced apartment: Typically, serviced apartments are not pet-friendly due to potential tears and damages. Despite being a rare instance, you still can find ones that allow it depending on the management policies.
- Apartment/ Flat: Pets are allowed in most apartments and flats, so looking for this property type will be easier.
- Condominium: Most condominiums do not allow pets in the units, especially if they are owned by a company. However, if you find a privately owned one, it is likely pet-friendly; simply ask the owner.
- Villa/ House: Finding a pet-friendly house or villa is easier. These properties have little or no restrictions on your furry friends.
Due to this difficulty, you may need a reputable real estate agent, who knows the market well and has a good relationship with the property owners to find your next home to accommodate your furry friends.
