Document background
The Pet Agreement For Rental is designed for use in the Australian residential tenancy market where tenants wish to keep pets in their rental property. This document serves as an addendum to the main residential lease agreement and is particularly relevant given the increasing prevalence of pet ownership and recent legislative changes in various Australian states regarding pet ownership in rental properties. It includes comprehensive details about permitted pets, maintenance responsibilities, damage provisions, and compliance requirements with local council regulations and strata rules (where applicable). The agreement is essential for properly documenting pet arrangements and protecting the interests of both landlords and tenants while ensuring compliance with relevant state-specific tenancy laws and animal welfare regulations.
