At Darwin Homes, we strive to accommodate our residents and their furry companions while maintaining the quality and integrity of our properties. Here's an overview of our pet policy:
Standard Policy:
- While some homes do not allow pets at all, others may have additional requirements, such as weight restrictions, animal type restrictions (e.g., no cats or dogs if the owner has allergies), or limits on the number of pets allowed if it's below our standard.
- Homes that permit pets have a limit of four pets per property.
Deposits & Fees:
- Darwin requires a refundable pet deposit, and in some cases, a non-refundable fee per pet.
- Specific requirements regarding deposits and fees can be found on the home listing and lease.
- Note: If your pet is an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) with supporting documentation, the fee will be waived.
Pet Agreement Requirements:
- The pet agreement includes specific requirements that must be adhered to by residents with pets.
- These requirements may include having carpets professionally cleaned and the home treated for fleas before move-out, with proof of service provided as an invoice.
- These rules apply even if your pets are ESAs.
Restricted Dog Breeds:
-
Certain dog breeds are not allowed within our properties for safety and liability reasons. These breeds include, but are not limited to:
- Akita, American Bandogge Mastiff, American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Boerboel, Chow Chow, Doberman, English Bull Terrier, Kyi Apso, Mastiff, Neapolitan Mastiff, Presa Canario, Rottweiler, Staffordshire Terrier, Wolf Hybrid.
Pet Documentation:
-
For each pet, residents must provide either:
- A color photo of the residents and the pet together in the same photo, with the entire pet visible in the frame.
- Vet records indicate the breed, age, and weight of the pet, along with the resident’s name.
Ensuring compliance with our pet policy helps maintain a safe and enjoyable living environment for all residents.
