Pet Policy

General Pet Policy

Approval required (including visiting/guest pets): All pets must be approved by Management before the pet is allowed anywhere on the property (including the front yard).
Tenants are responsible for all pets that visit, regardless of duration.
Pets must be at least 1 year old and house-broken (as applicable).
Pets must be spayed/neutered and vaccinated.
No breeding.
Prevent odor, infestation, stains, and damage; resident pays for all pet-related repairs/cleaning.
Dispose of pet waste daily (inside and outside).
Do not leave pet food/water outside if it attracts other animals.
Excessive noise complaints can result in permission being withdrawn and the pet must be removed.
Proper disposal of deceased pets; no burial on the property.
Pet rent may be added mid-lease if a pet is acquired mid-lease.
Undisclosed Pet: If a pet is allowed by the property policy but is not approved/added first, a $100 lease violation will be charged and the pet must be added/approved. Please be honest and add your pet. Our maintenance team may observe an unapproved pet during routine service visits, which can trigger the undisclosed pet process.

Cat-specific requirements

Dog-specific requirements

Dog pet rent (per month, where dogs are allowed): $29 for 0-29 lbs, then add $10 for each additional 10-lb range (30-39 lbs = $39, 40-49 lbs = $49, etc.) + $5 billing fee per pet rent charge.
Maximum dogs per home: 3
Unacceptable dog breeds (including mixes containing any amount): Akita, Alaskan Malamute, American Bully, American Staffordshire Terrier, Cane Corso, Chow Chow, Dobermann, Husky, Mastiff, Pit Bull, Rottweiler, Wolfdog.
Many homeowners insurance carriers do not allow these breeds, so we take this seriously.
Dogs must be capable of using a dog door if present/required by the property.
Dogs must be crated during maintenance if the tenant is not home to monitor the dog.
Puppy pads are not allowed as a standard means of pet waste control.
Leash/control: Dogs must be leashed and under control outdoors unless they are in a fully fenced backyard.
No tethering/unattended: Dogs may not be tethered or left unattended outside except in a fully fenced backyard.

Other pet types

Approval is not required for up to 3 other pets, provided they are kept responsibly and do not cause damage or odor to the property (mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, insects, arachnids, etc.).
Pet rent does not apply to other pet types.
Resident is responsible for any damage caused by other pet types, including aquarium leaks.
Aquariums: Aquariums under 10 gallons are allowed. Aquariums over 10 gallons require prior approval.
Not allowed: Poisonous species; exotic animals, farm animals, or livestock; dangerous animals; any pet with a bite history; any pet declined by insurance for any reason.
