Felony convictions related to violent crimes, drug distribution, or other specified offenses within ten (10) years result in disqualification. Misdemeanor offenses require at least two years of completion with no further activity.

Policies vary by property. Applicants must confirm the specific pet policy before applying. Typical restrictions:
Pet fees range from $350 to $500 per pet (non-refundable).
No dangerous breeds or exotic animals allowed. See detailed list in original text.
Multi-family: We generally do not allow pets in multi-family because there are too many complaints of noise, odor, or not cleaning up after them.
Dangerous breeds: Many insurance providers will not cover certain breeds of dogs because of the increased liability risk. For this reason, the following breeds (full or mixed) will not be allowed in any of our rentals: Pit Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Terriers, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Presa Canarios, Chow Chows, Doberman Pinschers, Akitas, Wolf-hybrids, Mastiffs, Cane Corsos, Great Danes, Alaskan Malamutes, or Siberian Huskies.
