How to successfully rent if you own a pet rabbit

Can you rent with a pet rabbit? 
Here are some pros and cons of renting with a pet rabbit:
**Pros:**

*   Rabbits are generally quiet and won't disturb neighbors with loud barking or meowing.

*   They are usually litter-trained, which means they won't make a mess on the carpet or floors.

*   Rabbits are happy to hop around your home and don't require daily walks like dogs.

*   They can be kept in a playpen, which means they won't damage furniture or other items in the rental unit and you can bunny proof your home for when they are free roam.

*   Rabbits are social animals and can provide companionship for their owners.

**Cons:**

*   Some landlords may not allow pets, including rabbits, in their rental units.

*   Rabbits require a certain amount of space to move around and exercise, so they may not be suitable if you only have a bedroom in a share house.

*   They can be messy eaters and may scatter hay or bedding around their living area.

*   Rabbits have a tendency to chew on things, including furniture and baseboards, which can cause damage to the rental unit if not bunny proofed. 

*   They may produce odors if their litter box is not cleaned regularly.

Overall, renting with a pet rabbit can be a good option for those who want a companion pet that won't disturb neighbors. However, it's important to check with the landlord or rental agency to ensure that pets are allowed in the rental unit and to take steps to minimize any potential damage or odors.
