$500.00 charge for bringing an unauthorized animal on the property. This includes animals of guests or unauthorized occupants, or temporary animals

If Tenant, Tenant’s guests, or any occupant violates any rule or provision of the Animal Guidelines (based upon Landlords’ judgment) and Landlord gives you written notice, Tenant must permanently remove the animal from the Premises within forty-eight (48) hours of receiving written notice from the Landlord. Landlord also has all other rights and remedies set forth in the Lease, including damages, eviction, and attorney’s fees, to the extent awarded by a court.

Tenants must immediately and permanently remove the animal from the premises if Landlord receives a reasonable complaint from a neighbor or other Tenant or if Landlord, in its sole discretion, determines that the animal has disturbed the neighbors or other Tenants.

Tenant will be jointly and severally liable for the entire amount of all damages caused by the animal, including all cleaning, de-fleaing and deodorizing. This provision applies to all parts of the Unit, including floors, flooring, doors, walls, drapes, windows, screens, furniture, appliances, and fixtures, as well as landscaping and other outdoor improvements. If items cannot be satisfactorily cleaned or repaired, Tenant must pay Landlord to replace them completely. Payment for damages, repairs, cleaning, replacements or other charges are due immediately upon demand.

When Tenant moves out, if any repairs or cleanings are required beyond normal procedure, Tenant agrees to pay for necessary services. Landlord, not Tenant, will arrange for these services. Standard move-out cleaning for a pet apartment includes deodorizing and defleaing and these services are covered by Tenant’s Pet Fee, but fee does not cover any damage done by pet (or Tenant) to the apartment unit beyond normal wear and tear.
