About our properties and leases:

• NO smoking or vaping of any substance is permitted inside any unit (including basement and garage area). We ask that you are respectful while smoking or vaping outdoors while others are outside and/or while others have windows open. Please prevent smoke or vape from entering their living spaces. 

• Animals are negotiable on a case-by-case basis after a meet and greet and after acquiring details about your animal. Maximum of 2 animals per unit. Each animal must weigh under 20 pounds when fully grown. Any aggressive animals, animals with a bite history, and/or animals under the age of 1 year old will not be allowed. No guest animals are allowed in the unit without prior management written approval. Approved animals will incur an additional $300 non-refundable fee plus an additional $30 rent per month per animal. All animals must be up-to-date on rabies vaccinations and deworming. This is for the safety of all our residents, their animals and their guests. Any additional damage caused by the animals will be paid for by the resident as they occur. Additional rules are listed in our animal application and must be adhered to. 

• Maximum occupancy of 4 people per unit. All tenants over 18 living in the unit for longer than 14 days in any calendar year must complete a separate application and background and credit check ($59 each). Each adult occupant will be held jointly and severally liable for carrying out all terms of the lease.
