strictly prohibited.
4. No service/support animal shall be left unattended in the unit for more than 12 hours.
5. Service/support animal owners are responsible for the immediate removal and proper disposal of kitty litter, other

the toilets or down other drains.

reasonably accommodating Resident's request for a service/support animal, breach or violation of this requirement may
result in revocation of the this license and may also form the basis for termination of the underlying lease if any
service/support animal breaches or violations are not timely remedied or cured.

illness; or if the service/support/companion animal owner is taken to the hospital or becomes deceased and has failed to
provide for the care of said animal or the designee fails to care for the service/support/companion animal), then

past due charges are not paid, Management reserves all rights and remedies available to it by law and may also revoke
