Pet policy
hey guys, my name is scott from lancaster PA. I'm a new guy, my first property isn't even ready to advertise yet but I'm trying to nail down what I want my policy to be, right now pet policy.
I'd like to allow pets, but is it best to charge a pet deposit or up the rent a few bucks? From what I understand (which is very possible I understand wrong), that in PA I'm allowed to charge up to 2 months as security deposit, but can only hold one month after the first year. Again, from what I understand that includes the pet policy. If that's true I'd assume it's better to have a monthly fee per pet.
Thoughts?
