Pet Verification Policy

What “pet-friendly” means at Paws & Keys and how we help you avoid any last-minute surprises

At Paws & Keys, we know “pet-friendly” can mean very different things depending on the building, landlord and juristic office.

Our goal is to help pet owners find condos and houses where pets are genuinely welcome.

This page explains how our Pet Verification Policy works and what you can expect when browsing listings or requesting a match.

Why We Check

Pet-friendly doesn’t always mean what you think – here’s why we verify…

Building rules vary

Pet policies differ between condos and even between units in the same building. What’s allowed in one place may be restricted in another.

Owners agree, buildings can refuse

Even if a landlord is happy to accept pets, the juristic office may have separate building rules. We check the latest guidance with owners and juristic offices to confirm pet-friendly credentials
