Under ch. 72 § 72-39, property owners and managers generally ensure that any animals kept on their premises are properly contained and do not run at large. Compliant operators typically address animal control expectations in lease agreements and respond promptly when a tenant's pet is found to be in violation of this standard. Maintaining clear pet policies helps demonstrate that the property is being managed in accordance with local ordinance requirements.
