General Policy
Not all Green Residential properties are pet-friendly. Pet policies vary by property.
Always confirm the pet policy for the specific property you are interested in.
Pet allowance details can be found on each property’s MLS listing.
All applicants must complete a Pet Screening Profile, even if they do not own a pet.
Pet Screening Profiles must be renewed annually.
Pet profiles determine a Paw Score Risk Level for each pet.
Pet screenings and policy affirmations are completed at GreenResidential.PetScreening.com.
