For individuals and families seeking to rent a property in Virginia, understanding the dynamics of owning a pet within these spaces is critical, particularly through the lens of the Virginia Association of Realtors® Pet Addendum. This addendum, a legally binding component of the lease agreement, outlines the specific terms under which tenants are allowed to keep pets in their dwelling units. Its stipulations cover not just the types of pets allowed but extend to detailed regulations concerning pet rent, non-refundable pet fees, pet deposits, and the responsibility for damages caused by pets. It sets forth conditions for pet care in the tenant's absence, establishes guidelines for the types of permissible pets, and delineates the responsibilities tenants have towards maintaining cleanliness and managing their pets in community areas. Moreover, it underlines the landlord's rights to revoke pet permissions if terms are violated and to inspect the premises for compliance. The Pet Addendum serves as an essential document for both landlords and tenants, ensuring clear communication and agreement on pet ownership within rental properties. By defining expectations and responsibilities, it aims to prevent disputes and foster a harmonious living environment for all parties involved, including the four-legged occupants.

8.In addition to Landlord’s right to make other inspections as provided in the Lease, if Landlord receives a written complaint alleging a pet violation, or otherwise has reasonable cause to believe a pet violation has occurred, Landlord may enter the Dwelling Unit after the giving of reasonable notice to Tenant. Any such inspection, unless in case of emergency, will be conducted during normal business hours.

In case of emergency, or if the pet becomes vicious, displays symptoms of severe illness, or demonstrates other behavior which constitutes an immediate threat to the health and safety as a whole, Landlord may enter the Dwelling Unit immediately, remove, or cause removal of, the pet and further take action with respect to the pet as is permissible under Virginia or local law. If Landlord places the pet in a facility or shelter, Tenant will be responsible for payment of all applicable costs and expenses. Landlord is authorized to take this action under this section only when Landlord requests the Tenant to take corrective action and the Tenant fails to do so in a timely fashion, when Landlord is unable to contact the Tenant after reasonable efforts to do so, or in cases of emergency in Landlord’s sole determination. Landlord and Agent shall not be liable under any circumstances for any actions taken pursuant to this section.

10.The number of ordinary house pets must be approved in advance and in writing by the Landlord. No other animal besides the pet expressly authorized by this Pet Addendum shall be allowed in the Dwelling Unit. If Tenant wishes to add another animal to the Dwelling Unit during the term of the Lease, Tenant must obtain prior approval for such pet in accordance with this Pet Addendum.

11.If the Dwelling Unit is part of an apartment community, pets may eliminate waste only in the areas defined as “Pet Areas.” Pet owners are responsible for the immediate removal and proper disposal of pet waste on all portions of the property, including Pet Areas. Generally, Pet Areas are defined as follows:

a.Areas away from buildings, walkways, patio areas, picnic and play areas, and the amenities area;

Tenant is responsible for any property damage, injury, or disturbances the pet may cause or inflict.

16.Commercial breeding of animals is prohibited.

17.All pets must have and display, as appropriate, evidence of all required registrations and inoculations.

Steps to Filling Out Virginia Realtors Pet Addendum

Filling out the Virginia Realtors Pet Addendum form is a crucial step for tenants who wish to have pets in their dwelling. This addendum becomes part of the lease agreement and outlines the conditions under which pets are allowed on the property, including details about pet rent, deposits, and the responsibilities of the pet owner.

  2. Include the name of the agent for the landlord, if applicable.
  3. Fill in the date of the lease agreement that this addendum is part of.
  4. Describe the property in detail where the pet will be residing.
  5. Under the section designated for pet details, list each pet's breed, type, color, weight, and name. Ensure you do not exceed the weight limit specified for fully grown pets.

FAQ

What types of pets are allowed according to the Virginia Realtors Pet Addendum?

The Pet Addendum specifies two categories of pets:

  • Ordinary house pets: This group includes dogs, cats, caged domesticated birds, small rodents like hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs, aquarium fish, and small turtles and tortoises. It's important that these animals are normally maintained in a terrarium or aquarium.
  • Unusual house pets: Pets that are not generally maintained as pets, such as large reptiles, snakes, and other large or uncommon animals, are considered unusual. Specific dog breeds such as Rottweilers, Pit Bull-type dogs, German Shepherds, and Dobermans, or any dog classified as a “dangerous dog” under the Code of Virginia, are prohibited.

Only ordinary house pets as defined are permitted, provided they fall into the allowances and restrictions set by the Landlord.

Is there a limit on the weight or number of pets I can have?

Yes, the Pet Addendum allows the Landlord to set both a weight limit and a limit on the number of pets. Each pet listed in the Addendum must be approved with a specific weight not to exceed a maximum fully grown weight as agreed. Additionally, the number of ordinary house pets must be approved in advance and in writing by the Landlord. No pets other than those expressly authorized by this Addendum are allowed.

What are my financial responsibilities for having a pet?

As a tenant, you will be responsible for various pet-related costs, including:

  1. Pet Rent: An ongoing monthly charge added to your lease agreement for keeping a pet in the dwelling unit.
  2. Non-refundable Pet Fee: A one-time fee associated with the administrative costs and potential property wear and tear of having a pet.
  3. Pet Deposit: A refundable deposit, which may be returned less the cost of extermination or any other fees incurred due to damage or necessary cleaning upon your departure from the dwelling unit. The deposit is intended to cover damages beyond normal wear and tear or additional cleaning necessary because of the pet.

These fees and deposits will be detailed in your Lease Agreement.

What happens if my pet causes damage or disturbance?

If your pet causes damage to the property or disturbance, you are expected to assume all liability and responsibility for such actions. This includes:

  • Reimbursing the Landlord for damages to the exterior or interior of the Dwelling Unit caused by the pet
  • Paying for professional cleaning or extermination services as required at the termination of the Lease Agreement, with proof of service provided to the Landlord
  • Assuming responsibility for any disturbances or injuries caused by the pet

Permissions to keep the pet may be revoked if the tenancy terms regarding pets are violated or if the pet becomes a nuisance, at the Landlord’s sole determination. Further action in accordance with the Lease Agreement may be taken against the Tenant for violations.

Common mistakes

  1. Failing to accurately describe the pet: Tenants often make mistakes by not providing complete details about their pets, such as the breed, type, color, and weight. This can lead to disputes or misunderstandings about the pets allowed under the lease.

  2. Overlooking the weight limit: This form requires acknowledgment of a weight limit for fully-grown pets. Tenants sometimes overlook or underestimate this detail, which can result in non-compliance with the agreement if the pet exceeds the specified weight limit.

  3. Not designating a responsible party: In the event that a tenant cannot be reached or is unable to care for the pet, a designated person must be able to step in. Skipping this section or not providing adequate contact information can cause problems in ensuring the pet’s well-being.

  4. Ignoring the specific rules about pet areas and leash requirements: The form outlines specific rules for pets in apartment communities, including leash lengths and designated "pet areas." Failure to adhere to these could lead to violations of the lease agreement.

  5. Forgetting to include all required fees and deposits: Tenants often overlook or incorrectly fill in the section about pet rent, non-refundable pet fees, and pet deposits. Misunderstanding or not clearly agreeing to these terms can lead to financial disputes later on.

It's crucial that when filling out the Virginia Realtors Pet Addendum form, tenants pay close attention to detail and fully understand each section to avoid these common mistakes. Each part of the form, from identifying pet details to designating a responsible party and agreeing to the financial terms, plays a critical role in ensuring a smooth and dispute-free rental experience for both the tenant and the landlord.

Documents used along the form

Engaging in a residential lease agreement often involves more than just the basic lease document, especially when pets are part of the tenant's family. Alongside the Virginia Realtors Pet Addendum, several other forms and documents play crucial roles in ensuring a smooth and legally sound agreement between landlords and tenants. These documents help to clarify responsibilities, protect all parties involved, and ensure the property is managed effectively throughout the tenancy.

  • Lease Agreement: This foundational document outlines the terms and conditions under which the tenant is allowed to occupy the property. It includes details such as the length of the lease, monthly rent amount, security deposit requirements, and other essential terms of the tenancy.
  • Security Deposit Receipt: This document acknowledges the receipt of the tenant's security deposit. It details the amount of the deposit, the purpose for which it can be used, and the conditions under which it will be returned to the tenant at the end of the lease term.
  • Move-In/Move-Out Checklist: This form is used to document the condition of the property at both the beginning and end of the lease term. It helps protect both the landlord and the tenant by providing a detailed record of the property's condition, which can be referred to when assessing any damages or necessary repairs.
  • Renters Insurance Requirement: Many landlords require tenants to obtain renters insurance as a condition of their lease. This document would outline the minimum coverage amounts and what types of coverage are required (e.g., liability, personal property) to help protect both the tenant's and landlord's interests in case of damage or loss.
  • Rules and Regulations: This document provides tenants with a list of all community or property-specific rules that must be followed during the tenancy. This can include policies on noise, use of common areas, parking, and, relevant to the Pet Addendum, specific rules regarding pets (e.g., leash requirements, designated pet areas).
  • Notice of Entry: This form is used by landlords to inform tenants of the intent to enter the dwelling unit. It outlines the reasons for entry (e.g., inspections, repairs, showing the property to prospective tenants) and provides the required notice period in accordance with state laws.

Together, these documents complement the Virginia Realtors Pet Addendum by providing a comprehensive framework for residential leases that include pets. By covering various aspects of the tenancy and property management, they help ensure that landlords and tenants are well-informed of their rights and responsibilities, leading to more harmonious and legally sound leasing arrangements. This thorough approach to documentation can ultimately serve to reduce conflicts and misunderstandings throughout the lease term.

Similar forms

  • The Virginia Realtors Pet Addendum form is similar to the Security Deposit Addendum. Both documents serve as supplements to the main lease agreement, detailing specific terms and conditions beyond those covered in the original contract. The Security Deposit Addendum outlines how the security deposit should be handled, the conditions under which it will be fully or partially refunded, and the tenant's obligations to avoid deductions. Similarly, the Pet Addendum specifically addresses the conditions under which pets are permitted on the property, including details such as pet types, weights, and the financial responsibilities of the tenant regarding pet deposits, fees, and potential damages. Both addenda are designed to protect the property and financial interests of the landlord while providing clear guidelines for tenant behavior.

  • Another document that shares similarities with the Virginia Realtors Pet Addendum form is the Property Maintenance Addendum. This document, like the Pet Addendum, amends the original lease agreement to include additional responsibilities for the tenant. The Property Maintenance Addendum requires tenants to maintain the premises in a certain condition, specifying tasks such as lawn care, snow removal, and minor repairs. The Pet Addendum complements this by detailing the tenant's responsibilities for maintaining the property in the context of pet ownership. Both addenda emphasize the importance of keeping the property in good condition and outline specific tasks and obligations of the tenant to ensure this outcome.

Dos and Don'ts

When filling out the Virginia Realtors Pet Addendum form, it's important to carefully follow the instructions and provide accurate information to ensure a smooth rental process. Here are some do’s and don’ts to consider:

Do:
  • Read the entire addendum carefully before filling it out to understand all the terms and conditions related to keeping a pet in the dwelling unit.
  • Provide detailed information about your pet as required in the form, including the breed, type, color, weight, and name. This helps in ensuring that the pet complies with the property's pet policy.
  • Document and provide evidence of any required pet deposits, fees, or rent according to the lease agreement terms. This includes maintaining receipts and any written communication regarding financial transactions related to your pet.
  • Designate a responsible party for your pet in case you cannot be contacted, outlining their contact information clearly. This ensures your pet's care in your absence.
  • Comply with all the property's pet policies and rules as specified in the Pet Addendum, including restrictions on pet areas, leash requirements, and pet behavior standards.
  • Maintain records of your pet’s registrations and inoculations as required and provide evidence of these to the landlord upon request.
Don’t:
  • Assume all types of pets are allowed. Note the distinction between ordinary and unusual house pets and adhere to the specified guidelines and prohibitions.
  • Underestimate the importance of the pet deposit and fees. Failure to accurately report these amounts can result in a violation of the lease agreement.
  • Forget to designate someone to care for your pet in case of emergency or if you are unable to do so. Failing to provide this information can lead to problems down the line.
  • Neglect the property's common areas and pet policies. Always clean up after your pet and respect designated pet areas to avoid fines or potential eviction.
  • Ignore the requirement for pet insurance if it is requested by the landlord. This can be vital in covering damages or injuries your pet may cause.
  • Leave your pet unattended outside the dwelling unit, as this could lead to complaints or safety concerns for both the pet and the community.

Misconceptions

When it comes to renting a home for both you and your pet in Virginia, misunderstandings about the Virginia Realtors Pet Addendum form can complicate what is typically a straightforward process. Here are six common misconceptions:

  • Any pet is automatically allowed with the Pet Addendum. Not all pets are allowed under this addendum. The pet must meet specific criteria set forth in the document, such as weight limits and breed restrictions, to qualify.

  • The Pet Deposit is always refundable. The Pet Deposit's refundability is contingent upon the pet not causing damage to the property. If damages occur, costs will be deducted from the deposit.

  • It grants permanent permission for pets. The landlord reserves the right to revoke permission for the pet if the tenant fails to comply with the terms of the addendum or if the pet becomes a nuisance.

  • No extra fees are involved. Apart from the Pet Deposit, tenants may be responsible for additional fees such as "Pet Rent" or a "Non-refundable Pet Fee," as specified in their lease agreement.

  • Landlord responsibilities concerning pets are limited. The landlord has the right to inspect the premises for pet violations and take necessary action if the pet violates the terms of the addendum or poses a threat.

  • All types of pets are categorized the same. The addendum distinguishes between ordinary house pets and unusual ones, with specific prohibitions against certain breeds and types.

Understanding these key aspects of the Virginia Realtors Pet Addendum ensures that both tenants and their furry friends enjoy a harmonious living arrangement. It's imperative for tenants to carefully read and understand the terms before signing to avoid potential misunderstandings or conflicts.

Key takeaways

When completing the Virginia Realtors Pet Addendum form, it's crucial to include detailed information about each pet residing in the dwelling unit. This description should encompass the breed, type, color, weight, and name of the pet. It's also important to note that there is a weight limit for pets, which must not be exceeded once the pet is fully grown.

Pet owners are expected to pay additional charges as outlined in the Lease Agreement, which may include "Pet Rent", a "Non-refundable Pet Fee", and a "Pet Deposit". These fees must be paid in accordance with the terms specified in the Lease Agreement.

The Pet Deposit may be partially refundable if the pet does not cause any damage to the dwelling. Should there be no damage, the deposit will be returned to the tenant less any fees for necessary pest control measures upon moving out. However, if the pet does cause damage, the tenant must cover the costs for repairs or cleaning.

It is essential for tenants to designate an emergency caretaker for their pets. This person will be responsible for the pet in case the tenant cannot be reached or is unable to care for the pet. The contact details of the designated individual must be provided in the form.

Pets that are allowed under this addendum must fall into the category of ordinary house pets, such as dogs, cats, and small caged animals or fish. Importantly, certain breeds of dogs and other unusual pets are not permitted. Tenants must ensure their pets are within these guidelines to avoid violating the terms of the addendum.

Should the pet become a nuisance, or if the tenant fails to comply with the conditions set forth in the Pet Addendum, the landlord has the right to revoke permission for the pet to reside in the dwelling unit.

Landlords have the authority to inspect the dwelling unit for pet violations upon receiving a complaint or if they suspect a violation has occurred. These inspections will be conducted during normal business hours unless an emergency justifies immediate access.

Pets must be supervised and controlled in common areas within an apartment community, and specific rules apply regarding leashing and the disposal of pet waste. Dog runs may be available, but restricted breeds are not allowed in these areas, and supervision is required at all times.

All pets must have up-to-date registrations and inoculations as required. Additionally, tenants are prohibited from engaging in commercial pet breeding within the dwelling unit.

Finally, tenants may be required to obtain liability insurance for their pets. This is a precaution to cover any potential damage or injuries caused by the pet.
