Re: Pet Deposit, How Much by Anon (VA) on December 5, 2012 @19:26

I agree, my landlords pet deposit is preventing me from getting a pet, and that is unfair on the children. Although it would be refundable, so the landlord says, how would I ever prove the damage was there before and not done by the pet? The house is a mess, stained, smelly carpets, with frayed edges, old, old, paintwork, and scratched up woodwork. I would have to take photos of every inch. I do not believe I would ever get the money back. With this cost and the shelter cost for adopting a kitty or two we are looking at $500 by the time we actually have the pet come home. The landlords rental agent even wants a pet addendum for a betta fish!
