A supplementary document to a residential rental agreement, this form specifies the terms and conditions related to allowing animals on the property. It outlines responsibilities for the animal’s care, potential damage, and adherence to local regulations. For example, it may detail breed restrictions, weight limits, and requirements for vaccination records.
Implementing this contractual element benefits both lessors and lessees. For the property owner, it clarifies expectations and provides legal recourse in cases of property damage or nuisance caused by the animal. For the renter, it offers clarity regarding permissible pets and avoids potential disputes stemming from unclear expectations in the original rental agreement. This practice evolved alongside increasing pet ownership in residential settings, providing a structured framework for addressing animal-related issues within landlord-tenant relationships.
