Standard Pet Policy

pet policyMega Agent Rental Management Georgia LLC (MARM) is a pet-friendly Atlanta property management company. Our properties are owned by individual owners so certain properties may restrict type and/or size of allowable pets / animals, so some owners have a stricter pet policy than our standard pet policy. Some individual property owners may not allow pets of any kind, other than legitimate assistance animals. If you have more than two pets or a special situation, please let us know and we can provide additional guidance.

Tenant(s) may keep up to two (2) pets in the home. The pets must not be on the “restricted breeds list” (see below). The Tenants and Landlord must execute a “Pet Addendum” to the Residential Rental Agreement in order to keep pet(s). This “Pet Addendum” details the terms and conditions for which a Tenant must abide by in order to keep pets in the Landlord’s home.

Puppies and Kittens (under age of 12 months) will be considered on a case by case basis.

All approved pets / animals are subject to a required 25.00 Pet Administrative Fee , per pet, upon move-in, (payable to Mega Agent Rental Management Georgia LLC) plus a $350, per pet, non-refundable Pet Fee to the landlord. The $350 non-refundable Pet Fee is in lieu of monthly pet rent and is not a damage deposit of any kind. (i.e. if you have 2 dogs, you will pay $750 at move-in for the 2 dogs).

We strongly encourage EVERY tenant to purchase a renters insurance policy that covers pet liability.

Pet Screening

MEGA AGENT RENTAL MANAGEMENT GEORGIA LLC has partnered with PetScreening.com, an independent 3rd party company. It provides a simple and secure tool allowing tenants who are pet owners to store all the important information about pets in one place. Tenants / Applicants are required to complete a pet screening for each of their pets or companion animals prior to move-in and as part of the application process. Pet screenings and Re-Screenings are currently $30 per pet (these fees are non-refundable and subject to change).

As part of the screening process, the prospective Tenant shall submit to the website MegaAtlanta.PetScreening.com a current photo of each pet along with information on your pet along with current veterinarian records. Mega Agent Rental Management Georgia LLC may also request current veterinarian records at any time, including to verify current pet weights.

At the time of each lease renewal or extension, each pet needs to be re-screened at PetScreening.com at the tenant’s expense, at the fee then charged by PetScreening.com. (These re-screening fees are non-refundable and subject to change). Tenants are solely responsible for cancelling any auto-renewal payment settings at PetScreening.com and understand that PetScreening.com will not refund any profile renewal fees, whether setup on auto-renewal or otherwise.

PetScreening.com is an independent 3rd party database and changes can only be made by the tenant through the PetScreening.com website. Mega Agent Rental Management LLC cannot change any pet information and once application fees and any Pet Screening / Pet Re-Screening Fees have been paid by an Applicant / Tenant they are NON-REFUNDABLE.

Service / Support / Assistance Animals

Mega Agent Rental Management Georgia LLC has engaged PetScreening.com to review and verify all tenant requests for accommodations for assistance animals (service animals, emotional support animals, etc.) . There is no charge to submit an accommodation request through PetScreening.com. When PetScreening.com approves an accommodation request, there will be no pet charges from Mega Agent Rental Management Georgia LLC. If PetScreening.com denies an accommodation request, the tenant will be responsible for pet fees outlined in the pet policy, Pet Addendum and the Residential Rental Agreement (Lease).
