Under ch. 240 § 240-24, compliant property operators typically include pet and animal-care standards in their lease agreements that reference both this provision and Chapter 150 of the City Code of Ordinances. Operators generally document the presence of animals on the property and communicate waste-disposal expectations clearly to residents who keep dogs or other domesticated animals. Maintaining records of tenant acknowledgment of these obligations can support consistent enforcement of property rules.
