Why this matters
Pet issues can combine customer-service, evidence, privacy, disability-accommodation, and deposit risk.
Property managers often need to respond quickly when someone reports an animal, damaged flooring, yard cleanup, odor, noise, pet fees, unauthorized occupancy, or move-out cleaning costs. A rushed or AI-written response can accidentally cite the wrong lease term, disclose private details, mishandle assistance-animal language, or promise a charge before evidence is reviewed.
This checklist keeps the first response neutral: collect source facts, separate evidence from assumptions, route sensitive items to a manager, and stop automation before making unsupported promises.

6. CRM label and next internal owner.Manager-review stop rules
- STOP AUTOMATION before mentioning unauthorized status, fees, deposits, cleaning charges, lease violations, notices, eviction, entry, assistance-animal status, disability accommodation, fair-housing, or legal deadlines.
- NEEDS MANAGER REVIEW when evidence is incomplete, the source is disputed, resident privacy is involved, or accommodation sensitivity is possible.
- Use approved systems. Store evidence, photos, invoices, and sensitive notes inside the property-management record, not scattered text threads.
- AI is draft-only. AI may summarize intake fields and draft neutral acknowledgements; a human reviewer decides next steps.
