Tenant agrees to properly and at all times observe the following restrictions on ownership of a pet:
- Tenant shall exercise proper restraint of a pet so as to prevent it from becoming a nuisance to any other tenant or person. Cats and dogs will wear an identification collar at all times.
- The pet shall be maintained and properly licensed and inoculated as required by local, county or state statute, ordinance or health code.
- Pets of vicious or dangerous disposition shall not be permitted. Any pet duly determined to constitute under state or local law as a nuisance or threat may be required to be immediately removed.
- A pet will not be permitted to disturb the health, safety, rights, comfort or peaceful and quiet enjoyment of other tenants.
- Pets except service animals will not be permitted to enter eating or gathering areas, except where properly restrained and where such is not offensive to the other tenants of the project. Pets except service animals will not enter areas designated as no-pet areas by management.
- Per the Health Department, pets are not allowed in the pool area or inside the pool or spa. Only ADA service dogs are allowed and must be accompanied by their owner.
- Tenants shall be responsible for the proper care and feeding of their pets. If the health or safety of the pet is threatened by the death or incapacity of the pet owner or if the pet is left unattended for 24 hours, the management may contact the responsible party designated by the pet owner in the pet registration. If that person is unavailable or unwilling to care for the pet, the management may contact the appropriate state or local authority to remove and care for the pet. If neither source of aid is available, the manager may enter the premises, remove the pet and arrange for pet care for no less than 30 days to protect the pet. Funds for such care will be the responsibility of the resident and may taken from the tenant's deposit, if needed.
