Section 8 Rental Property

Landlord specifically prohibits keeping pets in the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent. In exchange for Landlord’s agreement to permit Tenant to keep the Pet in the Premises, Tenant agrees to the terms and conditions of this Addendum.

1. PET RENT. In addition to the monthly Rent due under the Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly pet rent (which shall be “Additional Rent” under the Lease) of $25 per month payable in advance, on or before the first day of each calendar month during the Term of the Lease, without notice or demand.

2. PET FEE. Concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Addendum, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a NON-REFUNDABLE pet fee of $300.00 (the “Pet Fee”). The Pet Fee is not a part of the Security Deposit under the Lease and is not an advanced payment of Rent. The Pet Fee is paid by Tenant in consideration of Landlord’s agreement to permit Tenant to keep the Pet in the Premises and shall not be returned to Tenant under any circumstances.

3. RESPONSIBILITY. Tenant agrees that Tenant is solely responsible for the maintenance of the Pet, and Tenant agrees to keep the Pet under Tenant’s control at all times. Tenant agrees not to leave the Pet unattended for unreasonable periods of time.

4. RESTRAINT OF PET. Tenant agrees that the Pet shall be restrained (by leash, carrier, or other reasonably appropriate restraint) but not tethered, when the Pet is outside the Premises. Reasonable precautions shall be taken by Tenant to prevent the Pet from escaping the confines of the Premises. Tenant agrees to arrange for pet care when maintenance or other employees need to enter the Premises, if ever.

5. APPLICABLE LAWS. Tenant agrees to comply with all laws, rules, regulations, and local ordinances applicable to the Pet, including, without limitation, leash and licensing requirements.

6. WASTE AND ODORS. Tenant agrees to clean up after the Pet and to properly and promptly dispose of the Pet’s waste. Tenant shall take all action necessary to control, to Landlord’s satisfaction, any type of offensive or noxious odors associated with the presence of the Pet in the Premises.

7. COMPLAINTS. Tenant agrees to keep the Pet from being unreasonably noisy or aggressive and/or causing any annoyance or discomfort to others, and Tenant shall remedy immediately any complaints made to Landlord concerning the Pet.

9. PESTS. Tenant agrees to pay all costs of remediation or extermination of any pest infestation resulting from the Pet, whether during or after the Term of the Lease.

10. REMOVAL OF PET BY LANDLORD/LANDLORD’S BROKER. If, in Landlord’s/Landlord’s Broker’s sole judgment, Tenant has a abandoned the pet(s), left it for any extended period without food or water, failed to care for it if it is sick, or left it unattended in violation of the rules herein, then Landlord’s/Landlord’s Broker may, in accordance with the terms of the Lease dealing with entry of the Premises, enter the dwelling unit to remove the pet(s), and turn the pet(s) over to the humane society or local authority. Landlord’s/Landlord’s Broker’s shall not be liable for loss, harm, sickness, or death of the pet(s) unless due to Landlord’s/Landlord’s Broker’s negligence.

11. LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION. Tenant agrees to immediately pay for any damage, loss, or expense caused by the Pet. Additionally, Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all claims (including costs and expenses of defending against such claims) arising or alleged to arise from the presence of the Pet in, on or about the Premises, including claims for any type of injuries alleged to have been caused by the Pet.
