Allowing pets isn’t just about being accommodating—it’s about being strategic. Our Napa property management clients have seen measurable benefits when they adopt a controlled, well-structured pet policy:
✅ Broader Applicant Pool
Roughly 7 out of 10 renters own pets. By offering pet-friendly units, you unlock access to a much larger share of the rental market—giving you more options to choose from and reducing your vacancy time.
✅ Lower Vacancy & Higher Retention
Pet owners tend to move less often, meaning longer lease terms and fewer turnover-related costs. In fact, many of our clients who switch to pet-friendly policies report an increase in lease renewals.
✅ Increased Rental Income
With the implementation of pet rent, deposits, or fees, landlords can offset potential wear and tear while increasing their monthly cash flow.
What Makes Axxa’s Pet Policy Strategy Different
Many owners hesitate to allow pets due to concerns about damage, liability, or nuisance issues. That’s where Axxa Property Management comes in. We’ve developed a proven pet policy framework that maximizes the upside while minimizing risk.
📝 Clear & Legally Enforceable Pet Agreements
We draft a custom pet addendum tailored to your property, including:
- Approved animal types, sizes, and breed restrictions
- Tenant responsibilities (noise, waste, behavior)
- Rules for liability, inspections, and policy enforcement
These lease documents are crafted with long-term protection in mind.
🔍 Pet-Inclusive Tenant Screening
Our team performs in-depth tenant screening, which includes evaluating an applicant’s history as a pet owner. We verify references, prior landlord feedback, and behavior records to ensure responsible tenancy.
🧾 Pet Fees & Deposits
Depending on your goals and local laws, we structure refundable deposits or monthly pet rent to financially protect you while generating additional income.
🔧 Routine Property Inspections
We conduct scheduled inspections to catch potential pet-related damage early. This helps preserve your asset and reduce deferred maintenance costs.
