    Got a job, go me!! Yeah!
    is it possible to rent these days and be able to take a medium sized dog with me, to the south part of the city really. A freindly Labrador, playful etc useless as a guard dog as he never barks. Daft has a option "pets allowed" but tha can mean goldfish or cats, is there anywhere that lists places for this exact situation? Also need to keep costs low.

    If it says "pets allowed", then dogs are allowed. The only problem might be choice is limited and you may have to rent a whole property.

    What friends of mine have done is found somewhere and then said 'oh, the dog's ok, yeah?' when they're handing over the deposit and first month's rent. Landlords are a lot more amenable to pets when you've a big wad of cash in your hand. You could also offer an extra sum as a pet deposit and/or references from your old housemates and neighbours about the dog's behaviour; the landlord will worry that it'll chew everything, pee all over the house, and annoy the neighbours, if you can guarantee that won't happen (as much as one can guarantee those things) you shouldn't have a problem.

    Generally though, with so many people moving for work and due to mortgage problems, there are more people looking to keep their animals, so the landlords seem to be getting more accomodating.

    It depends if you are just looking at renting a room as I will tell as someone who still shares I wouldn't be overly fussed at having a dog in my flat. Many apartment blocks don't allow pets as well.
