Pet rules also make existing and potential residents aware of their rights while living among pet owners. In addition, they help protect and preserve the physical condition of the property and the owner’s financial interest. Please see HUD's Guidance when developing Pet Rules for properties set aside for seniors or people with disabilities. See HH 4350.3 R1, Exhibit 6-5 for more information on how to develop pet rules.
