Pet Screening Process and Criteria

We are always ecstatic to work with any qualified applicant or prospect that has a mature, well behaved, non-aggressive breed dog. Most of our properties are pet friendly and this information will be listed in the ad for each house so no one wastes their time! These terms are largely based on the comfort level of the property owners and the restrictions they decide on, for a pet to be authorized. Some smaller properties are suitable for residents with a cat, while other properties may not allow cats due to allergy issues of the property owners.


If your pet is over one year of age, and is of non-aggressive breed, we may have a property that might work for you! Pets under one year of age will not be considered and breeding of any pets is not allowed on our properties.


At ACP we require every animal to go through our professional screening process. The fee for this is $25.00 for the first pet profile and an additional $25.00 for each additional pet in your profile. These application fees are paid directly to our 3rd party vendor conducting the pet screening. This screening is part of our application process and any house application received that lists a pet(s) must complete this in order to move forward with the rental application.


Sadly, we are unable to rent to breeds that are commonly labeled as "aggressive" by the insurance companies. We cannot rent to mixes of these breeds either. Management will tend to steer on the side of caution when it comes to those mixed breeds.


It is the applicants sole obligation to get their pet approved prior to submitting the rental application, please be prepared to submit a photo along with your request for approval. Non-qualifying pets may result in denial of rental application.


Service Animals

We always accept service animals with proper documentation. Service animals are not subject to additional deposit or pet rent. Once your pet profile is made and the information is verified, we will process your application and get you the supporting documents needed for this accommodation.

 

Pet Approval

The overall strength of your qualifications weighs heavily on the consideration to approve your pet, as does the age, weight and breed of the pet. The pet application must be completed. All approved pets are subject to pay a monthly pet rent as well as a Refundable Pet Deposit which costs vary across majority of our properties. We will specify these terms with you prior to the processing of your applications.

 

Excluded Breeds

Here is a list of breeds that are considered aggressive by major insurance companies.


We understand that your pet may be outside of the sterotypes, but neither ACP Property Management and Real Estate, nor our clients are willing or able to take a risk renting to an animal that is considered a statistical liability.
