Animals / Pets
Matchbox accepts animals on a case-by-case basis as determined by the individual owner of each property. Many of our properties do not accept animals. If you would like to have an animal in your unit, this will require an additional deposit and monthly animal rent. Please contact your Portfolio Manager prior to bringing an animal to ensure it is approved. Animals must stay on a leash when outside your unit and you MUST pick up and properly dispose of your animal’s waste per city ordinance. Animals are not permitted to be tied on the property.
Please remember having an animal is a privilege, not a right. If at any point in time the rules are not followed, your animal agreement can be revoked. Animals require an animal addendum to your lease. All roommates must agree in writing that an animal is allowed before an addendum will be added. Bringing in an animal that has not been approved is subject to an illegal animal fee of $100 PER OCCURRENCE and PER ROOMMATE. Please don’t take the chance.
We use a third-party service, PetScreening, to ensure all tenants understand how to adhere to the property’s pet and animal policies, even if you do not have a pet or animal. All tenants should complete a Pet, No Pet, or Animal Profile. Please get started by selecting a profile category on our PetScreening page!
*A service animal or emotional support animal will require a different set of qualifications. Please speak to your Property Manager for details.
**You are responsible and will be charged for any damage caused by your animal including, but not limited to, clawing, chewing, urine stains/smells, blinds; washers and dryers can even be damaged by excessive hair.
