It is at the landlord’s discretion to determine if he/she will allow pets in their rental homes. Some landlords will not allow any pets, others will approve only small dogs, while others will allow dog of any size. Some landlords will allow only one pet and others will allow multiple pets. Some homeowners will allow cats, some will not, and others will allow cats only if they have been de-clawed and spayed or neutered.
There is additional security deposit required when a tenant has a pet. This additional security deposit averages approximately $300 per animal. The incremental increase in the security deposit will be due on the move-in date.
Any damage to the property or to the neighbor’s property that is caused by your pets, will be the sole responsibility of the tenant.
Failure to take care of problems caused by pets is a potential cause for breach of the lease agreement.
