Pet Policy
Atlanta Area Property and Management is a pet friendly company. However, some of our property owners do not allow pets or have restrictions on the type and size of pets allowed. These restrictions and/or exclusions are above and beyond the decisions we make.
We reserve the right to change these policies and requirements at any time without notice.
Our insurance does not permit vicious breeds of dogs, including, but not limited to: Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Presa Canario, Shar-pei, some terriors and Wolf Hybrids or pets that are known to have previously bitten someone. All other dog breeds not listed and cats will be considered on a case by case basis. In addition, no exotic, endangered or illegal animals are permitted. No ferrets or dangerous snakes are permitted. All pet reptiles, amphibians, rodents and birds must be caged. There is a limit of 2 pets. Landlord will make the final determination as to the breed or classification of any animal.
