Pet Policy: **PETSCREENING IS A REQUIRED PART OF THE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR ALL APPLICANTS - EVEN IF
YOU DO NOT HAVE A PET: https://goldenwest.petscreening.com
A welcoming environment is paramount to all of our residents with or without pets as well as animals. To help
ensure ALL of our residents understand our pet and animal-related policies, we use a third-party screening service
and require EVERYONE to complete a profile. This process ensures we have formalized pet and animal-related
policy acknowledgments and more accurate records to create greater mutual accountability. If you need
accommodation in another way, please contact your housing provider.
The Annual Pet Screening & Policy Affirmation fees are as follows: “No Pets” - $0; “ESSA” - $0; “Yes Pets” - $20 per
Pet; Additional Bank and credit card fees may apply. Discounts for multiple pets and early screening renewals may
apply.
After you complete your application, you will receive an email from PetScreening where each resident will need to
complete the PetScreening Profile and verification (regardless of whether you have a pet or not).
Pet Deposits and Fees are based on scored received from the PetScreening application.
