The Pet Addendum Rental Agreement is essential for Hong Kong residential properties where tenants wish to keep pets, serving as a crucial supplement to the main lease agreement. This document becomes necessary when a tenant either has existing pets or plans to acquire pets during their tenancy, providing clear guidelines and protecting both landlord and tenant interests. It specifically addresses unique aspects of pet ownership in Hong Kong's dense urban environment, including considerations for building regulations, public health requirements, and neighbor relations. The agreement ensures compliance with Hong Kong's relevant ordinances while establishing clear responsibilities and liabilities related to pet ownership in rental properties. It should be used whenever pets are permitted in a rental property, ideally being signed simultaneously with the main lease or before a tenant brings a pet into the property.
