Pet Requirements

[Account Closed]

Most of my rentals allow pets. I do get pics of all pets, plus info on the breed and age (so no replacing of pets can be done).

Here's my question: Do any of you require up to date shot records? Such as for rabies? 

I've never done this, so was curious if anyone else requires it.

We have a no pet policy, but do have a few cats who were already in our 8-plex when we bought it, so we allowed them to stay. Also one companion animal, a cat, for a person with a qualified disability. We take a photograph of the tenants holding their animals. This goes into their tenant file, along with a pet/animal agreement that includes the information about the vet, spay/neuter, vaccines, licensing, etc. We also include information about their responsibility for pet nutrition, exercise, and toileting. Also, we make sure the tenant gives us the name and contact information of a responsible person who has agreed to care for the animal if the tenant is on vacation or incapacitated in some way.
