What are the policies on pets and what fees are associated?

We understand that pets are part of the family, and we strive to accommodate them in our properties. However, we also need to ensure the comfort and safety of all tenants. Below are our policies regarding pets and the associated fees.

Pet Policy:

Our pet policy allows for the inclusion of certain types and sizes of pets, subject to approval. Tenants must notify and receive written permission from the property management before bringing a pet onto the premises. Unauthorized pets can be considered a breach of the lease agreement.

Permitted Pets:
We generally allow common household pets such as cats and dogs. Some properties may have specific restrictions based on breed, size, or weight. Please check with your property manager for any specific limitations.

Pet Application Process:
If you wish to have a pet in your apartment, you will need to complete a pet application form. This form will require details about your pet, such as breed, age, and vaccination records. Approval is contingent upon meeting all stated requirements.

Associated Fees:

Pet Deposit:
A refundable pet deposit is required to cover potential damages caused by the pet. The amount of the pet deposit varies but typically ranges between $200 and $500, depending on the property.

Pet Rent:
In addition to the pet deposit, there is a monthly pet rent for each pet living in the apartment. Pet rent generally ranges from $20 to $50 per month, per pet. This fee covers the added wear and tear on the property and additional maintenance costs.

Additional Fees:
In some cases, there may be additional fees for services such as pet waste removal in common areas or specialized cleaning fees upon move-out. These fees will be clearly outlined in your pet agreement.

Restrictions and Responsibilities:

Breed and Size Restrictions:
Certain breeds and sizes of dogs may be restricted due to insurance and safety reasons. Please contact our office for a list of restricted breeds and weight limits.

Number of Pets:
A maximum number of pets per unit may be enforced. Typically, no more than two pets are allowed per apartment, but this can vary by property.

Tenant Responsibility:
Tenants are responsible for ensuring their pets do not disturb other residents. Pets must be kept on leashes in common areas and should not be left unattended on balconies or patios. Tenants are also required to clean up after their pets and properly dispose of pet waste.

Vaccination and Licensing:
All pets must be up-to-date on vaccinations and licensed according to local regulations. Documentation of vaccinations and licenses must be provided as part of the pet application process.

In summary, while we welcome pets in our properties, it is essential to adhere to our policies and responsibilities to ensure a harmonious living environment for all residents. For more detailed information, please refer to our pet policy document or contact our office directly.
