JON A. SKELTON/NAVY HOUSING OPERATIONS AND POLICY BRANCH MANAGER/ EMAIL: jon.a.skelton2.civ@us.navy.mil/DSN: 288-4240/TEL: 202-433-4240// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces Military Housing Privatization Initiative (MHPI) companies operating Public-Private Venture (PPV) military housing on or near Navy installations are permitted to require refundable pet deposits. 2. In alignment with standard industry practice and other military Services, our privatized housing partners now have the option of requiring refundable pet deposits from active duty military tenants who sign a new universal lease. This option aligns with current pet deposit requirements from other authorized tenants of PPV military family housing; such as, affiliated and unaffiliated civilians. This NAVADMIN does not apply to active duty military tenants living in government-owned and controlled military family housing on Navy installations; most of which is located overseas. 3. The implementation of a refundable pet deposit is at the discretion of the individual PPV military family housing partner and may vary across locations. Pet deposits may not be retroactively applied to existing leases. 4. The maximum pet deposit is $250.00 per pet, up to $500.00 per household. Pet deposits are fully refundable, subject to pet-specific damages that may occur during the term of the tenants lease. Military family housing partners will be expected to identify pet damage charges separately from standard move-out damage charges when providing detailed damage amounts to tenants. The refundable pet deposit cannot be applied toward non-pet damages. In accordance with applicable laws, pet deposits will not be required for service or assistance animals. 5. For questions concerning refundable pet deposits, contact your local Navy Housing Service Center (HSC). Contact information for all Navy HSCs is available on the Commander, Navy Installations Command website at https://ffr.cnic.navy.mil/Navy-Housing/Contact-Navy-Housing/. 6. Released by Mr. Andrew S. Haeuptle, Director, Navy Staff.// BT #0001 NNNN CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED//
