There could be a consideration for the aggressive type dog by the company that insures the property that you are interested in if you obtain insurance for the pet by a company that does insure aggressive breeds such as http://www.awoiponline.com/dog-liability-insurance. (World Property Management is not associated with this company)

If they do a property inspection (insurance companies) and find that a tenant has an aggressive dog, poisonous, dangerous or endangered pet, the Home Owner's Insurance Company may drop their coverage. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Errors & Omissions

While we make every effort to describe our rental properties accurately, changes can and do take place. Therefore our descriptions are subject to errors and omissions. Tenants should verify schools, pets, features, etc. Listings do not constitute a guarantee of the facts stated. You should personally inspect the property before signing the lease agreement!

Disclosure of Agency

World Property Management LLC agents are acting as agents for the landlord and do not represent prospective tenants. Although World Property Management LLC agents show "for lease" properties to prospective tenants, they are not acting as tenant representatives and, are working as agents of the landlord. Residential qualifying criteria are subject to change at the Landlord's discretion and without notice. Our goal is to provide our owner clients with the best possible tenants for their properties. Occupancy will be based on overall condition of credit, employment, residential and criminal history. We reserve the right to refuse to rent to anyone that we feel does not meet our qualifications.

Notice To All Applicants

Applicant or an appointed representative named by letter must physically view the property prior to submitting the application for rental.. The representative must be someone other than the showing agent. ** Due to recent advertisement scams which have been brought to our attention, we only honor market prices listed on MLS and World Property Management website, for a copy of these, please ask your property manager. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. COMPLETE applications will be run in the order in which they are received, back-up applications are kept but funds not spent until the previous application has been declined. If you are a "back-up" application, we will notify you prior to running your application. At some locations, NO SMOKING is permitted inside the home or garage.

Once you are approved you will be notified by phone and or email and we will schedule an appointment for you to sign the lease agreement. All Leaseholders must sign the lease agreement.

*** IF YOU ARE APPLYLING FOR AN OCCUPIED PROPERTY ***

The current tenants have given notice to vacate prior to your move in day. However, be advised that their lease takes precedence and they cannot be forced to vacate except by lawful eviction. If you are concerned about which school your child will attend, please verify the schools with the school district before submitting your application, because schools get capped and boundaries may change. Applicants should satisfy any concerns regarding crime statistics and sex offenders in any area where they might consider residing.

Section 804(c) of the Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. 3604(c), as amended, makes it unlawful to make, print, or publish, or cause to be made, printed, or published, any notice, statement, or advertisement, with respect to the sale or rental of a dwelling, that indicates any preference, limitation, or discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin, or an intention to make any such preference, limitation, or discrimination. However, the prohibitions of the act regarding familial status do not apply with respect to housing for older persons, as defined in section 807(b) of the act.
