I purchased a home for myself and family from a pet owner who was not too concerned with where his dogs relieved themselves. Before having the new carpets installed, we had the concrete pad sealed with a deodorizing agent. You may want to check with a local home improvement store, or even a professional installer for the name of a good sealant. If you talk to a contractor that deals with apartment complexes and commercial properties, they can probably recommend a specific brand, as they deal with such issues constantly. Whether you’re floors are wood or cement will make a difference as well.
Gook luck!

and you don’t own it yet? Is that smart? I really don’t know. Maybe some of the veterans can help. I’ve been doing this business for a couple of years now and although it’s been tempting, I never put a dime of rehab in until I officially owned the property. Too much could go wrong leading up to the closing table.
Am I missing something?

I’ve used bleach in the past to get rid of pet smells. Assuming that you are going to be putting new flooring on top of the area, mix 1/3 to 1/2 bleach with water and mop it into the floor. Make sure to vent the area well and don’t plan to work in the area until letting it air out for several hours.
Good luck!
