TENANTS’ RESPONSIBILITIES
Tenants should maintain control of their pets and obey any lease requirements regarding the care
and control of a pet’s behavior, designated activity/walking areas and waste cleanup. Tenants
should obey all Federal, State and Local laws regarding the maintenance of their pets. Pets
should not create a continuing nuisance for other residents or the landlord. Landlords are not
responsible for the actions of a tenant’s pet, unless the landlord is aware of the pet’s vicious
propensity and fails to take action. If tenants do not obey pertinent laws, rules and regulations,
the landlord may have cause to ask the tenant to remove the pet from the premises or the landlord
may have cause for an eviction action.
