We are committed to keeping the grounds and your individual homes up to the standards you have come to expect and enjoy. As a pet owner (or future pet owner), you know that all animals require special care and supervision; they can do costly damage to your home. We need your help!

• Only one pet is allowed per household. There are no exceptions to this rule, except as required by applicable New York state or federal laws.
• Only cats and dogs, which weigh less than 25 pounds at their full adult weight, are allowed in the apartment. No puppies or kittens are allowed. Dogs must be fully grown and have attained their full adult weight before being accepted to live in the resident’s apartment.
• All pets must be spayed or neutered and evidence must be presented to the property manager.
• Every pet must be registered with both the property manager’s office and local authorities. You will be required to sign a Pet Agreement, show the animal to the property manager, and provide evidence of the animal’s vaccinations (worms, rabies, etc.) and registration tags. The property manager will approve an animal on a case-by-case basis, regardless of breed.
• There are no pet fees and the monthly pet rent is $45.00.
• Pets must be leashed and always be with a member of the household at any time outside of the home. You may not tie the pet up to a tree, your car, or any other object. You are ultimately responsible for your dog or cat’s behavior. Aggressive or noisy animals will not be tolerated and you will be asked to remove the animal from the property. It is unfair to your neighbors.
• You must clean up after your dog and dispose of the “mess” in the trash. This is an unpleasant task to be sure, but it is even more unpleasant when someone steps in the mess. It is unfair and unhealthy to other tenants to have dog droppings around the property.
• The property manager reserves the right to require you to remove your pet, immediately, without cause and without recourse and without returning your pet rent.
• Visitor pets are not permitted.
