communities are pet-friendly, though a small number do not permit pets. Every applicant completes a profile through our
third-party screening service (Petscreening.com) — Whether they have a pet, an assistance animal, or no animal — so that
policies are acknowledged and records are kept consistently. Households With no pet or animal complete the profile at no
charge ($0).
Important: Whether pets are permitted depends on the specific property _ Before apply or bring home a pet, please
confirm With KS Property Management Whether the community you are interested in is pet-friendly and What pet rules
apply there. This does not affect assistance animals, which are addressed below.
Pets. For household pets, the following apply:
