Press Release: PetScreening®, which offers the rental housing industry's first and leading pet policy compliance software at no charge to property owners and managers, today announced the launch of PetComply.ai, an exclusive feature that uses AI and advanced data analytics to help property managers identify pets that renters have failed to disclose.
PetComply.ai, which is available free of charge to PetScreening users, allows rental housing operators to maximize compliance with pet policies across their communities and portfolios. The solution automatically identifies pet compliance red flags and engages the offending residents with personalized education and compliance prompts. PetScreening then provides property managers with actionable visibility on compliance status and strategies to accelerate the goal of achieving a 100% compliance rate with pet policies.
"PetScreening is reimagining how rental housing properties can achieve 100% pet compliance," said John Bradford, founder and CEO of PetScreening. "PetComply.ai brings unprecedented efficiency and analytical power to operators' efforts to make sure they are receiving the pet-related fees they are due. This tool will not only save time, but also will provide a powerful boost to the bottom line. By creating a framework and set of solutions that benefit property managers and pet-owning residents alike, we are unlocking tremendous value for the industry while ensuring safer and happier communities."
Each year, operators lose an estimated $16 billion in pet-related fees because approximately 25% of renters fail to disclose their household pets. To date, PetScreening's existing platform has helped property owners recapture over $400 million in pet revenue. The development and deployment of PetComply.ai was made possible by the $80 million in Series B funding that PetScreening received earlier this year.
PetScreening enables rental communities to benefit from pet inclusivity, reduced risk and better liability control while simultaneously rewarding residents for their compliance. Through the platform, property managers can verify pet ownership details, assess risk levels and enforce compliance seamlessly—leading to safer, more responsible pet-friendly communities. PetScreening also evaluates reasonable accommodation requests for service animals and support animals within the rental housing industry.
In a recent 60-day case study including four of the National Multifamily Housing Council's Top 50 multifamily property management companies, PetComply.ai was responsible for identifying and prompting approximately 3,600 pet owners to come forward and voluntarily declare previously unregistered and unknown pets, which is expected to generate millions in net-new annual pet rent and fees for the participating property management companies. Notably, this impressive result was achieved without any additional effort from the property managers and onsite teams, showcasing the power of PetComply.ai to drive general pet compliance.
PetScreening also is dedicated to rewarding residents for becoming and remaining compliant. As part of this mission, PetScreening acquired and replatformed BetterPet, a trusted digital pet health platform offering veterinarian-written-and-approved content and resources. Through this platform, PetScreening enhances the rental experience for pet owners, ensuring they have access to the best pet information and services, along with popular pet care solutions, protection and products at prices only available to compliant PetScreening users.
PetScreening now serves more than 7.6 million rental units in the multifamily, single-family, student, affordable, manufactured and military base sectors nationwide.
