Summary

The law mandates that California landlords clearly state whether pets are allowed or prohibited in all advertisements, applications, and leases, and if pets are permitted, they must supply a written pet policy online and with the rental application. The policy must list breed, weight, fee amounts, limits, vaccination and insurance requirements, and must exclude service and support animals. Landlords who charge an application fee without giving the pet policy must refund the fee, and tenants cannot be evicted for not signing a pet addendum.
