No. The filter is not a guarantee for a particular pet. Policies can differ by breed/weight/size and by whether the building requires approvals or documentation before move-in.

Ask for the pet addendum terms, any restrictions on where/when pets can be kept in common areas, move-in procedures for pets, and whether approval is required for each lease renewal.

Common reasons include missing or incomplete documentation, mismatch with breed/weight/size rules, limits on the number of pets, or unit-specific requirements. Because policies are building-specific, approval isn’t automatic.

Yes. For example, check whether a building has available apartments for your timeline, and review any other building criteria that affects daily life (building access, elevator and move-in rules, and neighborhood commute needs). Then confirm the pet policy for the specific unit.
