Pet Policy

Our pet policies are designed to align with North Carolina property management best practices and common renter’s insurance requirements.

Restricted Breeds
We maintain a restricted breed list consistent with standard renter’s insurance carrier guidelines. All pets are subject to approval and must comply with HOA rules, municipal ordinances, and insurance requirements.

Pet Fee

  • $150 non-refundable pet deposit per pet
  • $25 per month, per pet

These fees help offset increased wear while reinforcing tenant responsibility.

The WPM Pet Guarantee

For property owners who approve pets, WPM provides an added layer of protection:

Up to $1,000 in eligible pet-related damage coverage per lease, applied after the tenant’s security deposit.

Important Disclosure

This pet guarantee:

  • Is not insurance
  • Is not a warranty
  • Is not pet insurance
  • Is not replace tenant responsibility

Pet damages are first applied to the tenant’s security deposit. If qualifying pet-related damage exceeds the deposit, WPM may cover additional eligible damages up to $1,000, at our discretion, as part of this program.

This benefit exists solely for owners who allow pets and does not create an insurance relationship
