- Outside the unit, including in hallways, yards, parking areas and other common areas, the pet must be leashed or carried and under Tenant's control at all times.

- Tenant will not allow the pet to disturb neighbors with repeated or prolonged barking, howling, crying or other noise.
- Tenant will not leave the pet unattended for extended periods, and will arrange for its care when Tenant is away overnight or longer.
- Tenant is responsible for the cost of any damage, cleaning, odor removal or pest treatment caused by the pet beyond normal wear and tear, and for any injury or damage the pet causes to other people, animals or property.
- Tenant will keep the pet vaccinated and licensed as required by local law, and will give Landlord proof on request.
- Tenant will keep renter's insurance that includes at least $100,000 of liability coverage for the pet for as long as the pet lives at the Property, and will give Landlord proof of coverage on request.
- Landlord may enter the unit to inspect for pet-related damage or rule violations, with notice as required by the Lease and applicable law.
- If Tenant or the pet breaks this Addendum, Landlord may give Tenant written notice to correct the problem or remove the pet from the Property, in addition to any other remedy the Lease and applicable law allow.
- Tenant will not keep any additional or replacement animal at the Property, including on a temporary or pet-sitting basis, without Landlord's prior written consent.
- Pets are not allowed in the shared laundry room.
4. Assistance animals
