Renting a flat with a dog

terrapin68 · 2015-01-30T14:36:20+01:00

Hi My family and I will be moving to Malta at the end of February/beginning of March and had a flat all organised, with help from a Maltese friend. Our UK home is sold (just waiting to exchange contracts) and half the house is packed or stored. We have now had the flat withdrawn as they realized that we were bringing our much loved Labrador and I am struggling to locate alternative accommodation in the Marsaskala area. My friend has been working with Frank Salt and they have been unable to locate anything. I have been in contact with 77 Great estates who have also been unable to find anything as yet. I would be very grateful for any hints or tips to locate anywhere to live for all of us. Thank you in advance Helen

There is a brand new flat next to mine owned by my landlord and he loves dogs so no problem. Three bedrooms two bathrooms and 100 m from Saint Thomas's Bay. Price is approximately €500 monthly Price approx 500 euros monthly and lovely landlord.

Hello again to all expatbloggers! Yesterday i paid a deposit for a pet friendly maisonette with nice yard! I was very worried that i would not find anything but it then actually worked out. A bit pricier than i had in mind (600 instead of 500) but the place is brand new so it is kinda worth it!

Anyway, so to help others,
Keep looking and if possible dont let it be a last minute thing. you have to have plenty of time! And if its not in the summer even better. Also, be prepared to maybe have to pay double deposit which means that for a 500e place you will need to have 1500+ agent fees only to get the key to the place!
Also, if you have large dog, LIE! tell them its smaller than it actually is and also OLDER...

just my two cents on the matter...

Hope this helps a bit!
Thank you for all your replies!
