Pet Policy Addendum
ALL TENANTS MUST READ & SIGN THIS ADDENDUM
The purpose of this addendum is to convey the terms & conditions regarding pets in a Tempo managed property and must be signed by all tenants when adding a pet.
Pets are not permitted unless this addendum is completed, agreed upon, and signed by both TENANT and LANDLORD. If a pet is acquired after completion of this form, Tempo Properties must be notified in writing and payment of the proper “Deposit” and “Fees” as described below must be made. Permission to keep a pet is a privilege, not a right, and as such, may be revoked at any time at the sole discretion of management.
The PET FEE is in addition to SECURITY DEPOSIT described in your lease. TENANT, upon paying LANDLORD said PET FEE, is permitted to have the above listed pets in the LEASED PROPERTY. LANDLORD is authorized to retain TENANT’S entire SECURITY DEPOSIT or a portion thereof, as reimbursement for fumigation, extermination, or any other costs incurred because of pet in LEASED PROPERTY. This is without prejudice to any other remedies which LANDLORD may have.
TENANT agrees to read and comply with the PET RULES listed on this agreement. TENANT understands that any complaint or notice received regarding the pet(s) is considered a violation of the LEASE and may result in immediate removal of the pet(s) and/or LEASE termination; whichever LANDLORD deems necessary. Tenant also understands that no pets are permitted to visit or temporarily be boarded in the LEASE PROPERTY; doing so would also be considered a LEASE violation and subject to immediate removal of pet and/or LEASE termination.
