Common use of Pets or Other Animals Clause in Contracts

Pets or Other Animals. All of our properties have a strict “No Pets or Animals” policy. This means you may not keep or allow an animal of any kind to visit the Property, even for a short time. Any unauthorized pets or animals on the Property will automatically result in a charge to your Security Deposit for fumigation, cleaning, and any damages, as well as an Unauthorized Animal Fee of $150. Upon notification, the animal must be immediately removed. If not removed within 7 days you will be charged another Unauthorized Animal Fee. These charges will continue to occur until the animal is removed. Additionally, you are responsible for all costs associated with eliminating any infestation caused by the animal’s presence. This may include numerous treatments by a Pest Control Specialist and the loss of rents due that Property (and potentially other adjacent Properties) because they are uninhabitable because of the infestation’s persistence. As incredible as it may seem, we recently had an infestation in one of our properties where the total costs associated with remediation was over $5,000! Don’t let this happen to you and your group! Fish tanks containing more than one gallon of water, whether or not they contain fish, are not allowed unless we approve of them in advance. In all cases, you’re liable for any damage caused by your fish tank even if you’re not at fault in causing the damage. Pest Control You agree to cooperate with us in our efforts to control pests. This may include emptying and cleaning cabinets, drawers, and closets, pulling furniture away from the walls, and allowing the exterminators to enter and treat the Property. We will normally give you a day’s notice before pest treatments. Any pest infestation that you or your guests cause is your responsibility and your Security Deposit will be charged accordingly.
