Yes, it is. Of course there are some people who have a whole pack of badly-trained dogs, and 'indoor' cats who do not aim at the litterbox very well....etc. And there are some people who do not respect their own living-space, much less someone else's property.
Some peoples' idea of 'hygiene' is also a bit lacking on occasion. But regular 'maintenance inspections' by the landlord could help, especially if it was stated in the contract that the apartment was to be kept to a certain standard or they could lose their home.
But I happen to think cases like that are rarer than some landlords imagine. Most people with companion animals just want a place to live, and a bit of peace, with a bed and somewhere to cook.
