PETS ON PREMISES Clause Samples

The "PETS ON PREMISES" clause sets out the rules regarding whether tenants or occupants are allowed to keep animals on the property. Typically, this clause will specify if pets are permitted, any restrictions on the type, size, or number of pets, and may require prior written consent from the landlord. For example, it might allow only cats and dogs under a certain weight, or prohibit all pets except for service animals. The main purpose of this clause is to prevent property damage, maintain cleanliness, and ensure the comfort and safety of all residents by clearly outlining pet-related expectations and limitations.

PETS ON PREMISES. No Tenant shall be permitted to house any dogs or cats unless the animal is a trained service animal or emotional support animal as determined APCHA’s Service Animal Policy, which is incorporated herein as a provision of the lease. No other animals of any kind shall be taken into or kept on the Premises without written consent of the APCHA which may be granted or withheld in the APCHA’s sole discretion. Each Tenant shall be liable for the cost of repair of the damages resulting from or inflicted by an animal harbored or kept on the Premises, whether or not permission has been granted by the APCHA. At a minimum, this shall entail the professional cleaning of all the carpets upon the removal of the pet or the termination of the lease, whichever first occurs. Denial or cancellation of approval may occur upon receipt of complaints from other Tenants, uncontrolled behavior or damages on or to the Premises or any part of the Premises or property upon which the Premises are situated. Tenants are responsible for the presence of any animals in violation of this rule (this includes all animals that may be present, whether owned by Tenant, a friend or relative of Tenant, or some other third-party present on Tenant’s premises), and will be assessed a fine of $200.00 for every violation of this rule. In addition, the presence of any animals in violation of this rule is considered a violation of the lease and may result in the termination or non-renewal of lease. All pets must be kept on a leash at all times. If notice has been provided by Staff that access to the unit is required, and you will not be present, the pet must be put in a kennel for its safety and the safety of the staff.
