You must provide the name, phone number, and email for the legal Owner and/or management company
4. PETS, PET DEPOSITS, SERVICE ANIMALS AND PET POLICIES: (if applicable) & due upon receiving conditional approval subject to Pet Application
- If the property in which you are applying on has no pet restrictions, applicant must fill out our mandatory pet screening application at https://nvapm.petscreening.com/ . This must be completed whether an applicant has pets or not. For non pet or animal owners, simply create a "No Pet Profile"
- Pet Deposits, Pet Rent, and Pet Fees vary based on a "Paw Score" generated by PetScreening.com
**A standard pet screening application fee is $20.00 for one pet and $15.00 for each additional pet. **
**If you have no pets, the pet screening is free, you will just need to assert that you have no pets.**
ESA OR SERVICE ANIMALS: Service animals are not considered pets and are not subject to pet deposits, pet fees, and/or pet rent. Applicants with SERVICE ANIMALS must submit the "ASSISTANCE ANIMAL APPLICATION" at no additional charge to the applicant.
- This process provides a HIPAA compliant and secure way of submitting a reasonable accommodation request for an assistance animal (service animals, emotional support animals, companion animals, etc.) that will be reviewed by a third-party legal review team to ensure the accommodation request meets HUD’s Fair Housing Act guidelines. There is no cost ($0) to you to submit an accommodation request. Please make sure you are aware of your State’s laws, if any, for submitting a fraudulent accommodation request
