  • Pets are accepted on a property-by-property basis and are subject to owner approval, insurance requirements, and property-specific restrictions. Applicants must disclose all pets prior to submitting an application. Failure to disclose a pet may result in denial of the application or other action permitted by the lease.

    Pet acceptance is not guaranteed and may vary by property.

  • Azure Sky Realty utilizes PetScreening.com for all pets and assistance animals.

    All applicants with pets must complete a PetScreening profile and satisfy any applicable screening requirements before an application can be approved.

    PetScreening fees, if any, are the responsibility of the applicant.

  • Pet owners may be required to provide:

    • Current vaccination records;

    • Licensing documentation where required by law;

    • A recent photograph of each pet; and

    • Any additional documentation reasonably requested by the property owner, management, or PetScreening.

    Pets must comply with all applicable licensing and vaccination requirements.

  • Restrictions on the number, size, breed, species, age, or type of pet may apply based upon owner requirements, insurance requirements, property restrictions, or other lawful considerations.

    The number of approved pets may be limited by the property.

  • Additional pet deposits, non-refundable pet fees, monthly pet rent, or a combination thereof may be required depending upon the property and the approved pet.

    All required pet-related charges must be paid prior to move-in unless otherwise agreed in writing.

  • Azure Sky Realty complies with applicable federal and state fair housing laws regarding service animals and assistance animals.

    Service animals and assistance animals are not considered pets and are not subject to pet deposits, pet fees, pet rent, breed restrictions, or other pet-related charges where prohibited by law.

    Applicants requesting a reasonable accommodation for an assistance animal may be required to complete a PetScreening profile and provide documentation permitted by applicable law.

    Approval of an assistance animal request must be completed prior to the animal occupying the property.

  • Residents are responsible for maintaining control of their pets at all times and for complying with all lease provisions relating to pets, nuisance behavior, damage, waste removal, and safety.

    Approval of a pet does not relieve a resident of responsibility for any damage, injury, lease violation, or other conduct caused by the animal.
