Other things to note HOUSE RULES These rules apply to all of our properties. If the space you rented is the Monument SWEET or Monument Garden SWEET, disregard the part about decks as those units do not have them. NO BACHELOR/BACHELORETTE WEEKENDS.

Because our spaces are apartments in old buildings where noise travels, and the neighborhood is quiet and residential, it’s not a place where we can welcome dogs who bark, whine, or pace a lot, or who howl or exhibit any destructive behaviors - Puppies: you are required to bring a crate with you to protect against accidents - Please use a leash while entering and exiting the building and apartment. Portland has a leash law FYI, so you will need to have your dog on leash in all public areas anyway, unless designated off-leash - Please pick up! - Dogs or pups may not be left alone for more than two hours in our place, and you must keep your phone ringer on at all times. Should we need to reach you about barking, howling, excessive whining etc, you will be required to return home immediately to take care of your pooch - Any damage caused or extra cleaning necessitated by your furry one will mean an additional cleaning or damage fee. We adore animals and welcome responsible animal-loving guests and their pets, as long as we can all abide by the rules above.
