For decades, pet policies were something of a cookie-cutter concept at apartment communities: Only certain breeds, only certain sizes and a limit of one or two pets per household.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Dec. 15, 2020 – PetScreening, a first-of-its-kind screening platform that empowers property managers to outsource their pet risk assessment and assistance animal validation processes at no charge, today announced it has hired Mike Shytle as vice president.   

As apartment communities move away from 1990s-era pet policies for more intuitive processes, the issue of breed restrictions remains a polarizing topic. But when implemented in a responsible manner, eliminating breed restrictions can have profound positive effects for the resident experience and the community’s bottom line. 

As the apartment world clamors to adopt new technologies, it is discovering that all platforms are not created equal.

Mitigating revenue loss has always been a primary concern for multifamily operators. But as with everything else, the pandemic has magnified the impact of any financial shortcomings and cast an enormous spotlight on a problem that needs to be solved immediately.
