Partnership will make it easier for rental housing operators to offer pet-inclusive policies and enforce resident compliance

MOORESVILLE, N.C., Oct. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — PetScreening, the leading pet policy management software for the rental housing industry, today announced a partnership with Rentvine, a property management software that combines cutting-edge technology with customer-driven innovation. The integration between the two solutions will allow Rentvine users to streamline assistance animal validation processes and implement pet policies that create a more harmonious environment for residents and their pet and animal populations.

“We could not be more excited about what this partnership will mean for the rental housing industry,” said John Bradford, founder and CEO of PetScreening. “Like our team at PetScreening, Rentvine is committed to innovation and providing both residents and rental housing associates with ease of use and best-in-class experiences. Our integration will make it easier for apartment communities and rental properties to offer pet-inclusive policies that appeal to today’s renters, reduce risk and provide associates with seamless processes for ensuring compliance.”

“At Rentvine, we’re focused on delivering modern tools that empower property managers to operate more efficiently while reducing risk,” said Randall Henderson, COO of Rentvine. “Our integration with PetScreening gives our users a seamless way to manage pets and assistance animals with confidence and consistency. It’s a natural fit that aligns with our mission to build the software this industry truly deserves.”

Through the PetScreening platform, rental applicants enter information about their pets, and the platform weighs various pet-related factors, including a community’s specific restrictions — such as breed, weight and age. This provides property owners with a streamlined process to comprehensively assess the risk posed by a specific pet and pet owner who wants to live at a rental property. PetScreening also uses an in-house team and certified fair housing specialists, backed by legal counsel, to efficiently review reasonable accommodation requests for assistance animals. 

PetScreening’s features allow housing providers to:

• Increase pet revenue: The FIDO Score™ assigns risk levels to pets, similar to credit scores, allowing property managers to adjust deposits and fees based on associated risk.
• Reduce unauthorized pets: Residents legally affirm they understand a property’s pet policies regarding pet sitting, visits, fosters and mid-lease adoptions to avoid potential recourse.
• Assure legitimate accommodation requests for emotional support animals: PetScreening’s in-house assistance animal review team reviews each request and authenticates documentation with the healthcare provider.

Key benefits of the PetScreening-Rentvine partnership include:

• Access to pet data in Rentvine: Seamless access to pet data supports informed decision-making, promoting a harmonious living environment for both residents and pets.
• Increased compliance: Streamline pet and assistance animal validation processes to support consistent, documented decision-making and compliance with all applicable laws and guidelines – while also encouraging greater renter adherence to pet policies.
• Time-saving automation: Reduce administrative workload with streamlined data entry.
