Pet Screening Policy
PETSCREENING IS A REQUIRED PART OF THE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR ALL APPLICANTS:
A welcoming environment is paramount to all of our residents with or without pets as well as animals. To help ensure ALL of our residents understand our pet and animal-related policies, we use a third-party screening service and require EVERYONE to complete a profile. This process ensures we have formalized pet and animal-related policy acknowledgments and more accurate records to create greater mutual accountability. If you need accommodation in another way, please contact your housing provider. Please note that this screening is required for all properties however please check with property management if a specific property accepts pets.
Please get started by selecting a profile category on our landing page: https://entwood.petscreening.com/
If a pet will reside in the apartment, upon completion of the PetScreening.com profile, a Fido Score will be generated for each pet. The Fido Score determines if your pet is accepted and the applicable fees that apply. Please be prepared to fill out all fields that are applicable in the PetScreening.com profile so an accurate Fido score is generated. If additional details are added later that result in a higher Fido score, a refund will not be issued for the difference.
- Applicants and Residents are responsible for the PetScreening.com Profile Fee.
- There is a monthly/per pet fee that will be added to lease agreements as well as an increased deposit, with total deposits not to exceed one month's rent. This does not include the PetScreening.com fee.
5 Paw: $20 Per Pet Per Month
4 Paw: $25 Per Pet Per Month
3 Paw: $45 Per Pet Per Month
2 Paw: To be considered. If accepted, $75 Per Pet Per Month

*Entwood Property Management reserves the right to change monthly pet fees without notice prior to lease signing.
RESERVATION TO RENT OPTION
In order to guarantee that your application has first priority, you would need to put down a Reservation to Rent retainer (RTR) for the home you are applying for. The RTR can be paid with a cashier's check or money order and must be put down in our office at 2515 Ceanothus Ave #100 in Chico along with signing an RTR form. Once we accept your RTR, you will have a hold on 1st priority place for at least 72 hours while your application is processed. If and when the application is approved, the RTR retainer is cashed, applied to your rental ledger, and you will be sent a lease. If for any reason the application is denied, the RTR is fully refunded.
NOTE: Any application without an RTR attached is subject to losing first priority to an application that is received with an RTR. It is highly recommended that all applications submitted are accompanied immediately after with an RTR cashier's check or money order. Please call (530) 809-0802 with any questions regarding this procedure.
