For example:- "1 time $129 non-refundable set up fee paid at lease signing"- "non-refundable pet fee of $200-500 per animal applies to all pets & must be paid prior to or when you pay your first month rent"- "$30/month required resident benefit package" Just my two cents.

We charge one month rent and one month security deposit before move in (make sure payments have cleared before turning over keys)  One month security is max allowable by Delaware Landlord Tenant code.If they have a pet you can charge a pet deposit (again, by state code, DE you can charge up to 1 month rent)If separately metered utilities, make sure they've transferred them into their name by providing account numbers and also a copy of their renter insurance before move in.Good luck!

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

Probably they make it up in upcharges on maintenance repairs, or they will keep all your application fees, processing fees, tenant charges,pet fees and charges or make ready or something somewhere. 

I paid that same day a manual payment through their portal system 1,028.11 (915.00 rent, 15 Utilities Setup, 30 Valet Trash, 5 pet control, 5 Packages, 25 monthly deposit, and 31.61 Pro-rated rent)  Click Pay... 

As to service animals, they are NOT pets.

Your lease should have items about inoperable cars and visiting pets.  

Question-I know you can ask for paperwork for emotional support animals (ie basically pets), but can you ask for the same for a real service animal? 

My next one will be for my pet friendly place that has a new small dog park on it.
