Pet Fees

[Melissa N.]

Hello All!

When my tenant moved in they paid a $300 pet fee and a $300 pet security for 2 large dogs. It was supposed to be a 300 non-refundable fee per pet but we bent a bit. Anyway, they just moved out and the paint needed some refreshing (wipe pet slobber :), the yard was full of dog droppings, and the carpets needed to be cleaned. Do I caulk that up to the 300 fee and charge them nothing or do I take it from the 300 security? Just curious how others are doing this.
