Taa Application Rental: Fill & Download for Free

Probably, but I can’t actually read your lease from this far away. What does it say? Can you hold it up against your screen so I can spidey-sense it?Unlike a bunch of strangers on the internet who don’t even know what they are talking about shooting from the hip with no facts to go on or any details regarding the circumstances, your lease (which is a legally binding contract, enforceable in a court of law) not only contains the answer, it will also dictate for what reasons and under what circumstances an animal can be removed, whether any notice is required, and any liability or recourse you may have.Also, laws vary according to locality, so what is or isn’t legal in California makes no difference, unless you’re in California. Laws can change. What the law stated in 1997 may be different than what the law states in 2017.Using Texas as an example, here is some sample verbiage from a standard TAA lease:“…27. Animals.27.1 No Animals Without Consent. No animals (including mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, rodents, amphibians, arachnids, and insects) are allowed, even temporarily, anywhere in the apartment or apartment community unless we’ve given written permission. If we allow an animal, you must sign a separate animal addendum and, except as set forth in the addendum, pay an animal deposit. An animal deposit is considered a general security deposit. The animal addendum includes information governing animals, including assistance or service animals. We’ll authorize an assistance or support animal for a disabled person without requiring an animal deposit. We may require verification of your disability and the need for such an animal. You must not feed stray or wild animals.27.2 - Violations of Animal Policies.(A) Charges for violations. If you or any guest or occupant violates animal restrictions (with or without your knowledge), you’ll be subject to charges, damages, eviction, and other remedies provided in this Lease. If an animal has been in the apartment at any time during your term of occupancy (with or without our consent), we’ll charge you for all cleaning and repair costs, including defleaing, deodorizing, and shampooing. Initial and daily animal-violation charges and animal-removal charges are liquidated damages for our time, inconvenience, and overhead (except attorney’s fees and litigation costs) in enforcing animal restrictions and rules.(B) Removal and return of animal. We may remove an unauthorized animal by (1) leaving, in a conspicuous place in the apartment, a written notice of our intent to remove the animal within 24 hours; and (2) following the procedures of Par. 28. We may keep or kennel the animal, or turn it over to a humane society, local authority or rescue organization. When keeping or kenneling an animal, we won’t be liable for loss, harm, sickness, or death of the animal unless due to our negligence. You must pay for the animal’s reasonable care and kenneling charges. We’ll return the animal to you upon request if it has not already been turned over to a humane society, local authority or rescue organization. We have no lien on the animal for any purpose.28. When We May Enter. If you or any guest or occupant is present, then repairers, servicers, contractors, government representatives, lenders, appraisers, prospective residents or buyers, insurance agents, persons authorized to enter under your rental application, or our representatives may peacefully enter the apartment at reasonable times for reasonable business purposes. If nobody is in the apartment, then any such person may enter peacefully and at reasonable times by duplicate or master key (or by breaking a window or other means when necessary) for reasonable business purposes if written notice of the entry is left in a conspicuous place in the apartment immediately after the entry. Law officers with a search or arrest warrant or those in hot pursuit may be allowed to enter.”Texas Apartment Association Sample Apartment Lease Contract (English and Spanish) | Texas Apartment AssociationIs having an animal permitted in the lease? Did you pay a pet deposit? Were you in compliance with the rules as stated in the lease?Moral of the story:Read things in their entirety, and be sure you understand what you read, before you sign anything.“Oblique language” is no excuse. Last time I checked, bookstores still sold dictionaries, and libraries still had books available for perusal at no charge, not that either one are needed in light of the existence of devices putting a world of information at your fingertips, like the one you used to post this question.
