Pet Fees Deposit / Rent
I haven't typically allowed pets, but I want to know what are standard fees to charge for pets. I am thinking the following:
- $250 non-refundable deposit total
- $25/month per pet up to 3 pets.
Am I in line with what everyone else is doing or should I be asking more?
Thanks,
Drew

Hi Drew,
I would even consider charging a non-refundable fee in addition to a potentially refundable deposit. Example $250 fee, $250 deposit and $25/month per pet.
This would ensure you're covered if damages exceed $250.
Good luck!
