The Fair Housing Act also provides exceptions to pet freedom for tenants with physical or mental disabilities. Fair Housing Partners of Washington State and the Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH) provide an example of support and service procedures for disabled tenants who need a pet. Columbia University, the University of California Santa Cruz and Wesleyan University offer a similar service and assistance policy for people with disabilities on campus. Step 2 – Enter the date of the Pet Addendum contract, followed by the date of the lease, the name of the tenant and the landlord. Often, the original lease did not allow pets or be silent on the authorization of the animals. A pet supplement (or a pet contract) to a rental agreement is a legal and mandatory contract between two parties, a landlord and the tenant. Pet supplements are generally used when the tenant wants to bring a pet to their home and the original rental does not have clauses allowing pets or not. Step 3 – Write down the number and type of animals the tenant may have. Then write down the number of pounds a pet can weigh. If the landlord wishes to charge a tax or security deposit for the tenant who owns pets, he must enter the dollar amount of that tax/down payment and indicate whether he can be reimbursed or not.
The pet contract is usually „added“ by an endorsement or modification to an existing lease and is part of the initial legally binding contract between the lessor and the tenant. A pet additive authorizes the tenant to have pets on the rented property. It requires the tenant to be responsible for his pet, which requires that he keep his animals under control, that he does not cause excessive disturbances on the land and that the owner of the animal be responsible for the property damage caused by the pets. The landlord can pay a tax or deposit that the tenant must pay, which is not refundable (a single tax) or refundable (such as a deposit). In addition, the owner determines the amount, type and size of pets that the tenant may have. This document is legally binding and both parties must therefore respect the details of this written agreement. Suppose the default in your lease is a pet-free policy. As a rule of thumb, you get a yes from your owner BEFORE Say yes to a cute and fluffy kitten or puppy. An owner has the right to say no to pets, but there are several reasons why an owner would want to say yes. If you are a tenant and want to bring a pet into your home, make sure you don`t break your rental rules and risk receiving an eviction notice! Bring the idea of a supplement to your landlord and discuss it first. US News reported that pet owners generally expect to spend less than $200 on an animal bond, based on a 2013 survey.
