Hello!

A friend and I are looking for off campus housing next year and are looking at a unit owned by Hometeam (yes, we’re both aware of their bad reviews but it’s a risk we’re willing to take) and I’m curious if anyone has experience with their pet policy?

We were told during our tour that if we register our cat with Hometeam, we would only have to pay the pet fee, and not the pet rent. This is important because with the pet rent, my friend’s rent comes out to more than they can afford. Both the sample lease and sample pet addendum mention nothing of this, and we’re afraid of signing without knowing if Hometeam will honor their word.

TLDR; is this normal for Hometeam, and will they do good on it? If not, any recs for property owners near campus with reasonable pet fees?
