A pet supplement gives permission to allow the tenant to have pets on the rental property. It requires that the tenant be responsible for his pets, which require them to keep their animals under control, that they do not cause excessive disturbance to the property, and that the owner of the pet is responsible for property damage caused by pets. The landlord can set a fee or deposit that the tenant must pay, which is either non-refundable (one-time fee) or refundable (such as a deposit). In addition, the landlord defines the number, type and size of pets that the tenant is allowed to have. This document is legally binding and therefore both parties must comply with the details of this written agreement. The California Association of Realtors does a very good job of creating forms that brokers can use. I just want to go into their points and tell you what points we would use in our lease. I have a sample form that you are invited to use. This blog post is for informational purposes only and not for legal advice. Let`s start with the California Association of Realtor pet supplements, so the most important thing is that they can only have the pets that are listed on this addendum. They will list the pets, I always like to list the breed, whether it is a dog or a cat, the name of the dog or cat and its age. I don`t want foo-foo the poodle to become foo-foo the pit bull.
Always put all things in such a way that you know exactly which animal was there when you were treating it. It is also good to have an idea of all the animals that are on the property so that you can capture them. Ask them to send a picture of their pets. This is Paul Kankowski, I do property management in the Temecula – San Diego area and I go through the California Association of Realtors Pet Addendum compared to other pet addendums. If you want to use the California Association of Realtor Pet Supplement, you must hire a licensed real estate agent who is a member of the California Association of Realtors. This is very important because you can`t just take and use this form, it has to be used by someone who pays to use this form. The California Association Realtors says that the tenant is responsible for the following: 5. The tenant agrees to clean up after his pets and dispose of all garbage properly. Step 4 – Further down the page, you need to specify the date where (day, month, year). 2. The tenant tells the landlord that the pet(s) are home-trained, have no malignant tendencies or a history of threatening or harming people by biting, scratching, chewing or any other way. Step 3 – Enter the number and type of pets that the tenant is allowed to have.
Next, write down the number of books that a pet is allowed to weigh. If the landlord wants to charge a fee or deposit related to the tenant who owns pets, they must enter the dollar amount of those fees/deposits and indicate whether it is refundable or not. 6. The tenant agrees to keep the premises free from the smell and stains of pets. Step 2 – Enter the date of the pet addendum agreement, followed by the date of the lease, the name of the tenant and the landlord. 10. The renter is responsible and will be charged for all damage to the premises caused by his pet (his pets), whether listed above or they are “just visiting”. Damage includes, but is not limited to, damage to floors, carpets, curtains, screens, landscaping, fences, including odors due to the presence of pets.
4. The renter is responsible for compliance with all local laws and regulations regarding pets. 12. The tenant agrees to take out tenant insurance that includes coverage for the possession of pets. 7. The tenant undertakes to take measures to avoid parasitic infestations (fleas, etc.) in the premises. Step 5 – At the end of the first page and at the top of the second page, one (1) or two (2) tenants and one (1) or two (2) landlords must indicate the following: 1. The tenant cannot have pets on premises other than those mentioned above, including all pets that are “visiting only”. 3. The Renter agrees that the pet(s) are properly authorized and vaccinated in accordance with applicable laws, and the Renter further agrees to provide proof of license and vaccination at the request of the Renter or agent.
8. If the premises are part of a condominium, pets are not allowed in swimming pools, pavilions, business offices, laundry rooms, business centers or fitness centers. Pets are not allowed to be bathed or cared for in sinks, pools or the laundry pool. 9. The authorization to have a pet can be revoked at any time with three days` notice for a valid reason or for a monthly rental with thirty days` notice without giving reasons. The tenant`s failure to remove the pet(s) after the revocation of the permit is considered a violation of the rental agreement or the rental agreement. 11. The Renter undertakes to indemnify and hold harmless the Lessor and the Lessor`s representatives from all liabilities, claims, demands, damages and costs for injuries to persons or property in connection with the Tenant`s pets. . .
