Frequently Asked Questions
We love your furry roommates! As pet people, we value responsible pet ownership. Please remember that while we are a pet-friendly community, not all neighbors are comfortable around animals, and we have a strict leash policy around the property. We invite you to stop by the coffee bar on your walk for a treat!
Upon signing a lease, you agree to abide by its stated guidelines, listed below for your convenience.Our goal is to provide a safe, pet-friendly community for everyone. Please join us in promoting these rules so that we can remain fine-free.
You are responsible for the animal’s actions at all times. You agree to abide by these rules:
- The animal must not disturb the neighbors or other residents, regardless of whether the animal is inside or outside the dwelling.
- Dogs, cats, and support animals must be housebroken. All other animals must be caged at all times. No animal offspring are allowed.
- Inside, the animal may urinate or defecate only in the designated areas.
- Outside, the animal may urinate or defecate only in the designated areas.
- Animals may not be tied to any fixed object anywhere outside the dwelling units, except in fenced yards (if any) for your exclusive use.
- You must not let an animal other than support animals into swimming-pool areas, laundry rooms, offices, clubrooms, other recreational facilities, or other dwelling units.
- Your animal must be fed and watered inside the dwelling unit. Don’t leave animal food or water outside the dwelling unit at any time, except in fenced yards (if any) for your exclusive use.
- You must keep the animal on a leash and under your supervision when outside the dwelling or any private fenced area. We or our representative may pick up unleashed animals and/or report them to the proper authorities. We may impose reasonable charges for picking up and/or keeping unleashed animals.
- Unless we have designated a particular area in your dwelling unit or on the grounds for animal defecation and urination, you are prohibited from letting an animal defecate or urinate anywhere on our property. You must take the animal off our property for that purpose. If we allow animal defecation inside the dwelling unit in this Addendum, you must ensure that it’s done in a litter box with a kitty litter-type mix. If the animal defecates anywhere on our property (including in a fenced yard for your exclusive use), you’ll be responsible for immediately removing the waste and repairing any damage. Despite anything this Addendum says, you must comply with all local ordinances regarding animal defecation.
ADDITIONAL RULES. We have the right to make reasonable changes to the animal rules from time to time if we distribute a written copy of any changes to every resident who is allowed to have animals.
VIOLATION OF RULES. If you, your guest, or any occupant violates any rule or provision of this Animal Addendum (based upon our judgment), you will be subject to a fine. Fines will start at $25 for violations such as not picking up pet waste or not having your pet on a leash in the aforementioned areas. Three or more fines or any one major violation will result in a written notice to permanently remove the animal from the premises within the time period specified in our notice. We also have all other rights and remedies set forth in the Lease Contract, including damages, eviction, and attorney’s fees.
