Yeah but pet rent is just trying to work around the deposit statute imho. I think it’s sketch

It’s completely legal to make an increase to the base rent amount for pets.

You can’t demand a refundable holding deposit above and beyond the one months periodic rent, which is why ‘pet deposits’ are illegal. There is only one exception to this one months periodic rent rule, and that is for furnished apartments that meet certain criteria.

I agree entirely. But unless there’s a specific law against it, and a tenant agrees, it’s fair game. Awful tenant rights in this state.

And FFS if you raise the rent on a pet owner just raise the damn rent across the board - or better yet don’t and realize you already have the law on your side re damages And get over yourself.
