What is a Pet Protection Agreement? A pet protection agreement is less formal than a pet trust. Including financial resources for your pet's future care is not required, although this is recommended. Unlike a will, the designated caregiver must sign the agreement, which legally binds them to the terms of the agreement.
Include the pet's breed, age, and required vaccinations. Clearly outline the rules and responsibilities of both the tenant and landlord regarding pet ownership. This should cover pet waste cleanup, noise control, and property maintenance. Clearly state the consequences of violating the pet addendum.
A pet agreement should include the landlord's and tenant's information, the place where the tenant will live with their pet, the inclusive dates of the contract (start date and end date), as well as how many pets are allowed within the property, and specify the amenities where the pet(s) are allowed.
I agree to control my pet at all times and be 100% responsible for my pet's actions. I agree to keep my pet from making unnecessary noise or being a nuisance to other tenants, and will address any complaints immediately.
If the landlord and tenant sign a pet addendum, the landlord allows pets in their unit as long as the tenant is fully responsible for the pet and any damages that it may cause during the tenancy.
