Re: Pet Deposit, How Much - Landlord Forum thread 270563

Re: Pet Deposit, How Much by Anya (MN) on November 11, 2012 @20:40

                              
Okaye, I am a renter. I love in an old building, double sheet rocked with mold between layers. Synthetic carpet worn down so badly that the little tufts of fabric are flat and resemble the underside of a rug or mat. My paint was not down, my carpets were not even vaccumed let alone shampooed when I moved in, all my appliances needed replacing and doors as well as vent covers are missing. I paid a 600$ security deposit and 450 rent with an additional 150 to pay the last month. I am housing a fixed, declawed cat that previously belonged to my recently deceased brother until I found a new home for the cat. The landlady wants to charge a 300$ pet deposit. Based on the fact that 1)I'm not keeping the animal 2)The animal wont do any damage, she;s lazy and sleeps all day and doesn't move except to get food or use her litterbox 3)The condition of the apartment any damage that wouldn't be done anyways..won't matter as carpet needs replacing etc as it is.
Other tenants in my building paid 250 deposit for their small dog and tenants across the hall with 3 dogs have not paid any deposit and tenants next door were requested 250 for their cat as well as 25 dollars pet rent. Is it just me or is the 300$ deposit asking too much?
