Form Outline

The TXR 2004 form is organized into the following sections:

  1. Animal Authorization and Description
    Three-part section: (1) explains assistance animal reporting requirements and that reasonable accommodation requests are needed, with no fees charged if accepted; (2) prohibits any unauthorized animals even temporarily; (3) provides detailed fields to describe each authorized animal including physical characteristics, vaccination status, and assistance animal designation.
  2. Consideration
    Establishes the financial terms for keeping animals. Excludes assistance animals from all charges. Offers three fee structures that can be used individually or in combination: a refundable deposit added to the security deposit, a recurring monthly fee, or a one-time non-refundable fee.
  3. Animal Rules
    Establishes seven mandatory care and conduct rules for all animals on the property, covering behavioral responsibility, legal compliance, vaccination, confinement, waste removal, and offspring removal.
  4. Access
    Requires the tenant to remove or confine animals whenever they could interfere with the landlord's or authorized persons' access to the property for maintenance, inspections, showings, or other permitted purposes.
  5. Disclosure Concerning Animals
    Requires the tenant to disclose any known bite or injury history and any known aggressive propensities of the animals being authorized. If either answer is yes, a written explanation is required.
  6. Tenant's Liability
    Establishes comprehensive tenant liability for all animal-related damage, injuries, and property damage. Tenant is responsible for all costs to clean, deodorize, deflea, or repair any part of the property including flooring, doors, walls, window coverings, furniture, appliances, sod, yard, fences, and landscaping.
  7. Indemnification
    Broad indemnification clause requiring the tenant to protect, defend, and hold harmless the landlord, property manager, and their agents from all damages, costs, attorney's fees, and expenses arising from any animal-related incident or tenant act.
  8. Default
    Provides that breach of any provision in the Animal Agreement allows the landlord to immediately terminate animal authorization (in addition to all lease default remedies), requiring the tenant to immediately remove the animal from the property.
  9. Special Provisions
    Blank space for adding any special provisions related to the animal agreement that are not covered by the standard sections.
  10. Signatures
    Provides signature blocks for up to two landlords and up to four tenants, plus an option for a property manager or attorney-in-fact to sign on behalf of the landlord.
