Rent will be prorated for whatever portion of the first month remains; rent due on the 1st of the month after that. Pet policy: monthly pet rent with no pet deposit. $25/cat and $35/dog. We allow dogs that are spayed/neutered, non-aggressive (a video of your dog at the dog park would be helpful here), house-trained (no pee pads), and well-exercised / non-destructive. We consider well-exercised to be a minimum of two 30-45 minute walks per day, not simply taking dogs out to pee and coming back inside. We have had plenty of damage in the past from nice dogs that were not well-exercised and were simply bored while their owners were at work. We expect dog owners to pick up after their dogs outside.We allow cats that are completely litter-box trained and whose owners are really on top of regularly cleaning the litter box. We have also had plenty of damage in the past from cats who chose their own spots to pee because their litter boxes were not cleaned often enough.Terms: Security deposit of $850 due at signing of the lease. First month's rent due prior to move-in. First month's rent will be prorated depending on move-in date, with full month's rent due on the first of the month after that.We ask all interested parties to complete a basic application with references.

The screening fee is a one-time, nonrefundable fee of $30, which pays directly for the credit check.
