What happens if a resident did not have a pet when they first signed their lease, but they get a pet a couple months into their lease term? Do they wait until renewal before submitting their pet application?

You should advise residents to use PetClear to submit information to your team about any new pets they wish to adopt while living at your property to avoid violating the terms of their lease. If the resident previously created a PetClear profile during the leasing process without an animal,  they will be able to add a new animal from their portal at any time.
