Pet Policy
Most landlords in the State College area simply do not allow pets, rejecting
all pet owners in order to avoid the possibility of pet damage, pet odor, flea
problems and neighbor complaints.
At Park Forest Enterprises, Inc., we understand that there are many good
tenants who happen to have pets. And we encourage the property-owners that
employ us to consider allowing certain pets.
Not all properties on this website allow pets, but many of them do.
Where pets are allowed, the following general pet policies apply. Specific
properties may have additional rules, or restrict that only cats or only dogs be
permitted.
