Adding a pet is simple. To add a pet, you make a Pet Addendum and attach it to the original lease. When creating the Addendum, make sure you do not violate any local laws such as breed discrimination or required service animal accommodations. You may want to consider adding a pet deposit and pet rent if allowable by law. In most cases, you can ask that the animal be properly licensed, spayed or neutered, and up-to-date on their vaccinations. Our Pet Addendum document also includes information about the landlord's right to break the agreement, a statement about how the tenant will be responsible for any damages caused by the animal, and an indemnification clause.
