Can you institute house rules for an ESA

[Julie Kuczmarski]

I have certain rules for pets that are included in my pet addendum. For example how they must behave, cleaning up pet waste promptly, pets can not be left unattended outside, tenants are responsible for flea infestations, etc. I understand that I can not charge a pet fee or pet rent for ESA. My question is can I apply the rest of my pet rules to an ESA dog?

If yes, do I just write up a separate ESA addendum with the rules? Is there anything that I can not include in those rules.? How do other’s handle this. BTW I am in NC.

TIA,
