Re: non refundable pet deposit - Landlord Forum thread 175528

Re: non refundable pet deposit by Richard Greyson (CA) on March 20, 2009 @14:40

                              
I don't know if it is illegal in Iowa, but who cares.
Tenants always seem to know that the landlord is doing something "illegal". Red Flag #1

You are not obligated to rent to dogs.

Although sometimes cute, dogs are not a protected class.

You can require a pet fee, a larger security deposit for accepting the dog or even a higher rent because you do not want pets.
The tenant can then take it or leave it.
