pets
Each owner decides about pets. Every listing says whether pets are considered or not allowed.
If the listing says NO PETS, no pets will be allowed in the unit.
If the rental considers pets, submit a profile for each pet. The owner approves each pet. Usually there is an increase in rent and in the security deposit, and we require 1 to 4 pet inspections per year at the cost to the tenant ($10 to $40 per month).
In properties that consider pets, the tenant pays:
$20 for the first pet and $15 for each additional pet. The screening service scores the pet, and the score decides whether it is allowed and how many inspections it needs.
$35 per pet per month.
An increased security deposit of $100 per pet.
Interior inspections are required. How often, and the cost, depend on the pet's score, which is based on size, breed, history, age, vaccines and more.
| PetScreening score | Inspections per year | Pet inspection fee (paid by tenant) |
|---|---|---|
| 5 paws | 1 | $10/month |
| 4 paws | 2 | $20/month |
| 3 paws | 3 | $30/month |
| 1 or 2 paws | 4 | $40/month |
A 1-paw rating is usually not approved.
Pet profiles are active for one year. Each year you will be prompted to review your profile, make any updates, and attest that the information is still accurate. Renewing before the expiration date costs $10, auto-renewal is $15, and renewing after it has expired is $20. The screening service sends reminders starting 14 days before expiration.
Every applicant submits a profile, including a No Pet profile for anyone without pets.
An assistance animal is not a pet. No pet rent, pet deposit or pet fees apply.
