EXCEPTIONS to this policy therefore if you do not accept this clause DO NOT
sign. If you are considering renting a
property without viewing it first you will need to understand there will be

prohibit pets at certain properties. An

termination. Management can remove the
pet from the property if the terms of the pet approval agreement are not being
fulfilled;
