What counts as proof
The rabies certificate, or a clear copy of it. It must show that the vaccination is current on the day you sign. If it lapses during the lease, many addendums require you to renew it, so note the due date.
What else the addendum usually asks for
- A county or city pet license, which is issued from the rabies certificate.
- Breed, weight and age, because many buildings limit each.
- A recent photo.
- Spay or neuter status, and sometimes a vet or previous-landlord reference.
- Proof of renters insurance that covers the pet, in some buildings.
Sending it
Attach the certificate to the application, or send a PawPass share link that shows the pet’s details and every vaccination date on one page, and expires once the lease is signed. See renting with pets.
