I also add a pet clause to my leases when a pet is moving into the house, it states the address, the tenants name, the lease dates and also a descirption of the animal with council registration number and then the following:
The landlord gives permission for you to have one dog on the premises providing the following conditions are met;
• The permission is given for one dog only. Written permission must be obtained prior to any other pet living on the premises.
• Upon vacating the property the tenant agrees to have the premises treated for fleas by a professional pest control company.
• In addition to having the carpets steam cleaned the tenant will also have the window furnishings professionally cleaned and all window furnishings and carpets deodorised when vacating.
• The tenant agrees to repair any damage done to the gardens or property by the animal. If the tenant does not repair then they will pay the landlord the sum required to repair damage.
• Should the property manager deem it necessary during the term of the tenancy you will be required to have carpets and window furnishings cleaned and deodorised and the property treated for fleas while still in occupation of the property.
• The dog will be kept outside at all times.
The tenant agrees that they have read, understand and agree to the above conditions.
Very handy to have that signed by the tenants and yourself as if there are issues with fleas and pet smell during the tenancy you are covered
.
