We have tenants add .5x for a pet deposit in lieu of a $500 pet deposit (2.5x or 3.5x respectively) however there are some new pet fee and pet deposit laws coming in Colorado January 1, 2024 and we aren't yet sure how these caps on pet deposits will impact our use of Rhino for this purpose (see below re: legal definition of "Security Deposit").What questions do you have?
