JRP Property Management Animal Policy is as follows (unless specifically stated in the listing or changed at the owners request).
Animals are permitted on a case-by-case basis upon the sole discretion of the Landlord. Only approved animals are permitted on the premises.
A $50.00 (Fifty Dollars and 00/100) monthly fee (unless otherwise stated) will be required per animal and will become part of rent due; not a separate charge and therefore rent going forward will be at the advertised price plus this amount regardless if the animal continues to reside at the property for the full term of the lease or subsequent leases. If you begin your tenancy with an animal your rent going forward will be the listing price plus the animal fee.
Multi-Units may allow animals of 30 lbs or less only.
Animals other than cats or dogs that do not create a liability hazard such as lizards, non-venomous snakes, guinea pigs, hamsters or gerbils kept in a cage or fish tanks under 10 gallons will be accepted and become part of rent due as outlined above.
Tenants will be required to allow a bi-annual inspection for pests and will be responsible for all costs incurred to eradicate the pests as deemed appropriate by the landlord under the recommendation of an exterminator.
We do not allow: Dogs under one year of age, fish tanks over 10 gallons, rats or mice, rabbits, bunnies, livestock, wild animals, dogs on the unacceptable dog breed list or any other animals not expressly noted on this animal policy.
Unacceptable breeds include but are not limited to:
- Akita
- American Staffordshire Terrier
- Chow
- Doberman Pinscher
- Pit Bull
- Presa Canario
- Rottweiler
- Wolf hybrid
- Or any dog that is a mix that includes one or more of these breeds.
Tenants shall supply documentation to the Landlord of distemper and rabies vaccination from a qualified veterinarian and is responsible for keeping vaccinations and documentation current.
Tenant is responsible for registration of the animal as required by any county or state laws.
Unapproved Animals: Tenants will be billed a non-refundable $250 fee for each unapproved animal(s) found on the premises. Tenant(s) will be given notice and will be given 10 days to rectify the situation either by approval or removal of the animal(s). Approval or removal of the animal does not negate the $250 fee which will become part of the next month’s rent due.
Should the presence of an unapproved animal(s) persist beyond the initial notice period, a recurring non-refundable fee of $250 will be billed to the tenant(s) for each unapproved animal every 10 days until either the animal(s) is approved for occupancy or is completely removed from the premises. This fee will become part of the next month’s rent due.
If an animal is approved, the tenant will be responsible for the monthly animal fee going forward in addition to the $250 fee for the period of which the animal was kept previously unapproved.
ESA & Service Animals: Tenants with an emotional support or service animal are required to have the animal approved by the office and to complete the proper documentation so the animal can be included on the lease.
