Pet policies vary widely from pet-friendly to pet-free. Typical restrictions include dog and cat limits, size/weight caps, and breed restrictions. Some communities prohibit pets entirely. Pet policies must be consistent with fair housing laws for service animals. Violations can trigger fines or forced pet removal.
Pro Tip
If you have or plan to get pets, verify policies before buying. Restrictions can be prohibitive.
Example
A pet policy allows 2 dogs or cats, each under 50 pounds, in any unit but prohibits aggressive breeds and requires waste cleanup
