A Pet Guarantee for Rental Homes

MLSullivan Pet Guarantee

A common concern for our owners is pets in the property. We understand the importance of
protecting your investment. However, a large majority of tenants will have some type of pet.
Marketing your home as “No Pets Allowed” significantly reduces the opportunities to find a
tenant. To minimize the risk to our owners, we have high standards and screening for any pet to
qualify for the home. You can always restrict size, type (maybe allow dogs, but no cats), and
have the final approval. Please keep in mind, service animals are not classified as a “pet”. We
screen the service animal to ensure the applicant has proper documentation. An application
cannot be denied due to a service animal, its size, type, or breed.
To further protect our owner’s interests, we have a Pet Guarantee. MLSullivan Property
Management, will guarantee damages up to $1,000.00, resulting from an authorized pet(s). This
guarantee excludes normal wear and tear damages resulting from a service animal. The
MLSullivan Pet Guarantee will be enforced upon depletion of the tenant’s security deposit. Any
collection or claim under this program will be the sole responsibility of MLSullivan Property
Management.
With this guarantee, you are protected for above and beyond what an average pet deposit will
cover. We are then able to keep pet deposits more reasonable for applicants, which can give your
home a preference in the market, minimizing your vacancy
