To all tenants. When you buy a place you can do what you want. When you rent something that does not belong to you, either go with the program or sleep in your car. As a landlord I don't owe you anything. If "you're" an animal lover and would rather sleep in the streets than give your animal to a shelter, enjoy the pavement. It's your decision. Don't say you would rather sleep in the streets than give up you cat, but then complain that you don't want to sleep in the street. The problem is that foolish animal lovers, like smokers, or drinkers, want the world to support their pathetic habits. As long as the market will bear a fair price for my rental unit, you will always be out a large pet deposist. Forcing me to take you to court is a sucker bet. The same immature animal lover that rather go to court, is the same immature adult that never appears at court dates, or makes any effort to clean up after their animals. Their goal is to defer the costs to a future date and then skip town. That's why theu don't want an upfront pet deposit. I've been renting for over 20 years. NO PETS ALLOWED! WHEN YOU SIGN MY CONTRACT, IF A PET IS IN THE HOUSE (YOURS OR NOT) YOU WILL BE EVICTED WITHIN 21 DAYS.

Landlord, There are some instances where you will be FORCED to deal with a pet on your property. May it be a service animal or a companion animal. If you attempt to charge a tenant any sort of deposit on these kind of animals or attempt to deny them their animal or housing the DISCRIMINATION against a DISABILITY law suit you will recive will make you hurt for YEARS to come. Trust me any little old lady can get a companion animal based on it makes her feel safe. Have a nice day. Calm down. Deal with the fact that you could have pets in your places.
