Pet Information

Some of our rental properties allow pets. Homeowner preferences and insurance policies generally determine what type and how many pets are allowed.

To find a pet friendly rental home, search the available properties and click Amenities and select Pets Allowed.

Pet Application

Many Real Property Management rental homes allow pets. If you have a pet, please ask about our pet policy. It is typical that there are additional application fees, rent costs, and increase deposit requirements that will apply.

We welcome pets in rental homes that allow pets, however, we must ensure tenants are responsible pet owners and respect other residents in the area. Both landlords and tenants should be up-to-date on city ordinances controlling pet ownership and management. The following list of pet ordinances is not exhaustive, but it does cover the main questions pet owners and landlords are likely to have.

General Rules and Regulations
Most cities and counties have pet ordinances which all Real Property Management clients must abide by as pet owners.  Below are common ordinances, however check with Animal Control in your local area to make sure you understand and comply with all pet rules and regulations.

  • Your dog or cat must be registered and licences with the city within a certain time frame of acquisition, and the license tag must always be attached to your pet. Most pet licenses need to be renewed periodically
  • Pet waste must be picked up immediately. So when you go on dog walks, make sure to bring a bag for pick up. Then place the waste inside of a trash container.
  • City pet ordinances also require you to control your dog’s barking at all times, both day and night, and the police have the power to impound your dog if it is barking incessantly and you can’t be reached.
  • If your dog bites a person or another animal, city pet ordinances usually require you to notify the police or an animal control officer immediately, and not leave the scene until an officer has authorized you to do so. Always assist the victim as needed and give your contact information to the victim.
  • Since most of Alaskans own a pet, the Municipality has provided off leash pet friendly parks! Check them out and maybe your pet can make some new friends.
  • Anchorage Municipality ordinances require a pet to be kept on a leash at any time the pet is off its owner’s residence, except when in officially designated off-leash city property. Dogs and cats in heat must be kept in a secure enclosure, preventing their exposure to any free-roaming males.
  • Whether by law or not, tenants should always clean up after their pets as a courtesy to others and the surrounding property.

As you prepare to move in, here are a few items to help ensure a successful stay. When you sign your lease, we will provide you a manual detailing information you need to enjoy and care for your new home, and login information for your own tenant account. Please keep this manual handy for easy reference throughout your stay.

Move In Assessment

Within 5 days of moving in, go through your new home thoroughly, then email us a completed Inventory and Condition Form along with photos to visually verify conditions you describe on the form.

Also note, the completed form stays in the leasing department and does not constitute a maintenance request. If during your assessment you find anything that needs maintenance, please submit a maintenance request through your online tenant account. We want you to enjoy your new home and will work with you to ensure the property is well maintained.

Tenant and Owner Responsibilities

As a resident of a rental home managed by Real Property Management, we want you to treat the home as if it were your own and be respectful of your neighbors.  Taking good care of the property also leads to a faster return of your deposit when you move out.

Your lease outlines your full responsibilities however, below are some general responsibilities.

  • Keep the property clean and orderly, inside and out
  • Set up utilities in your name prior to moving in – electricity, water, gas, trash
  • Care for landscaping and exterior – lawn, and minor trimming and weeding of shrubs and flowerbeds, sidewalks (e.g., show removal), exterior light bulbs, window cleaning
  • Pest control
  • Complete minor and seasonal maintenance – changing light bulbs, furnace filters, refrigerator water filters, and batteries in detectors; maintaining water softener and purification systems, keeping vents clean
  • Comply with local, state and Home Owner Association (HOA) property codes, rules and regulations

Contact our office if you would like a referral for a vendor for services listed above.

Owner Responsibilities

Real Property Management and/or the owner of the rental home you lease are responsible for:

  • Ensuring the rental property is clean, safe, and ready for occupancy
  • Re-keying all doors leading to the outside for security
  • Complying with state and federal laws pertaining to required detectors in the home
  • Providing residents with a copy of applicable HOA rules

Maintenance Request

We want to ensure every rental property stays in great shape, and we encourage you to request maintenance when appropriate to possibly prevent larger issues or costly repairs.  When maintenance or repair is needed, log in to your online account or call our maintenance hotline.

Long-Term Relationship

Our goal is to maintain positive relationships with both our property owners and tenants, and ensure you are satisfied.  If you are pleased with our service, please email us and offer to post a positive review or provide a testimonial for future marketing use.

Likewise, when you decide to move, buy a home or car, or get a new job, Real Property Management will support you by offering a payment history and providing you a letter of recommendation provided you have paid your rent on time and have taken care of the property.

Moving Out

Moving out can be a busy and sometimes stressful time.  Real Property Management Vancouver can provide checklists and guides to help make your transition smoother, faster and more organized. Just look at the self-help education portal for your free download.

You must give proper notice prior to vacating the property, as outlined in your lease. Example: If you want to move out by June 30th, you must sign and send a notice before May 30th. Real Property Management Vancouver will conduct a move-out inspection only after all of your personal property has been removed and the property is fully cleaned, and you turn in your keys.  We consider you still living at the property until you return the house keys, postal keys, and garage door remote if applicable, to our office.  You will not be allowed to re-enter the home after all keys have been turned into the office.

To assist us in making refunds to you promptly, we ask that you review the security deposit section of the Residential Lease Agreement that you signed when you moved in.  This will clarify the refund procedure and explain any additional charges which you may incur.

The better the condition of the property when you leave, the faster the deposit can be returned to you, to the forwarding address you provide. If you vacate the property prior to the end of the lease term, you will still be responsible for paying the rent for the remainder of the lease however, we will do our best to try and lease the property.
