Document background
The Pet Lease Addendum is essential for Austrian property managers and landlords who wish to formally allow and regulate pet ownership in their rental properties. This document becomes necessary when a tenant requests to keep a pet or when a landlord wants to establish standard terms for pet ownership across their properties. It supplements the main lease agreement by detailing specific conditions, responsibilities, and requirements related to pet ownership while ensuring compliance with Austrian tenancy laws, animal welfare regulations, and building rules. The addendum typically covers aspects such as permitted pet types, additional deposits or fees, maintenance requirements, and liability considerations. It serves to protect both the landlord's property interests and the tenant's right to pet ownership while maintaining compliance with relevant Austrian legislation including the ABGB, MRG, and Tierschutzgesetz.
