Guarantees

Tri-City Realty Services Pet Guarantee

When a pet is approved through our screening process, Tri-City Realty Services will cover pet-related damages above the tenant’s security deposit, up to $2,000 , at no cost to you. We utilize PetScreening.com to thoroughly verify pet details, vet records, and history before approval. We also handle collection of any additional deposits or pet rent, ensuring your investment is protected.

Our Pet Guarantee means you can confidently say “yes” to more qualified tenants while knowing your property is backed by Tri-City’s protection.

Plan Administration / Eligibility Requirements

• The Landlord’s account with Tri-City Realty Services must be in good standing and free of any violations of the Residential Management Agreement. Termination of the Residential Management Agreement will immediately end participation in the Pet Guarantee program, and Tri-City Realty Services will have no responsibility for any claims, past or future.

If these funds cannot be collected from the resident, Tri-City Realty Services will pay the covered expenses within the program limits stated below.
• Any amounts owed by the resident for legal fees or pet damage will first be deducted from the resident’s security deposit. Tri-City Realty Services will then pay the owner for any remaining balance due, up to the maximum payout amount.
