The way property managers handle pets has changed and it’s time the process caught up. In Rentvine’s recent webinar with PetScreening, we highlighted how modern property management software can simplify pet management, ensure compliance, and unlock new revenue opportunities.
Here are some of the most important takeaways from the discussion on how the Rentvine and PetScreening integration is helping property managers.
Why do property managers need to rethink pet management?
With more renters owning pets and regulations becoming more complex, managing animals has gone from an occasional task to a daily responsibility. Property managers now need tools that simplify workflows, protect compliance, and uncover new revenue opportunities.
Pet-friendly properties are the new norm. Over 70% of U.S. households have pets, and Millennials and Gen Z renters expect housing that welcomes them. Traditional “no-pet” policies and manual tracking simply can’t meet modern renter expectations.
Compliance and consistency are constant challenges. Fair Housing laws around service and assistance animals are complicated. Plus, staff turnover often leads to inconsistent handling of the pet management process.
Property managers need smarter and tech-driven workflows. This is to protect owners, improve consistency, and make compliance easier.
How can property managers become more proactive with the Rentvine and PetScreening integration?
Today’s goal in property management asks managers to create a proactive and data-driven system that standardizes every step and reduces pet screening risks from the start.
That’s why Rentvine partnered with PetScreening: to bring animal management into the modern era. This new Rentvine integration allows property managers to handle everything from pet profiles to Fair Housing compliance directly within the Rentvine platform.
Here’s how property managers can be more proactive with this integration:
Centralize pet screening data with clear profiles.
Every applicant or resident automatically falls into one of three categories inside Rentvine:No-Pet Profile confirms there are no pets or visiting animals.
Pet Profile
This includes details like vaccination records, pet history, and a built-in PHTO risk score.Assistance Animal Profile
This is verified directly through PetScreening’s Fair Housing–trained team to ensure compliance.Use data, not guesswork, to assess risk.
The PHTO (Pet Homeowner) Score rates each pet and owner on a 0–5 paw scale, factoring in breed, age, vaccination, and behavior. Property managers can then set fair and risk-based pet fees or keep them flat across the portfolio with full transparency for owners and tenants alike.Protect compliance and build consistency.
PetScreening’s verified process takes the guesswork out of assistance animal requests while protecting sensitive data. Teams don’t have to chase paperwork or retrain on Fair Housing nuances. Everything is standardized, documented, and stored securely.
Moving from reactive to proactive pet screening systems isn’t about adding more work. It’s about replacing guesswork with structure. The Rentvine and PetScreening integration empowers property managers to make smarter and fairer pet decisions inside their property management software.
What’s the ROI for property managers?
The true ROI of modern pet management isn’t just about compliance. It’s about turning a potential risk into a measurable return. With the Rentvine and PetScreening integration keeping everything centralized, property managers can expect ROI in these forms:
