Some things to look out for are the fees. environmental fees, excessive weight fees, another trick of the industry is billing cycles. some will bill monthly so you are billed 12 times a year others may bill every 4 weeks so you get billed 13 times a year (52 weeks/4= 13 bill)based on my experience the big guys tend to play ball and kill on volume to shut out little guys. also these little guys rely on the big guys station to dump, so they charge a base fee and mark it up or put add on to make money.

Because of federal fair housing laws that require landlords to allow reasonable accommodations for tenants with disabilities, the following apply: Landlords may not prohibit a service animal or companion animal from living in the unit.Landlords may not charge the tenant extra "pet" rent or "pet" security deposit.Landlords may not apply other "pet policy" rules like breed or weight restrictions.

A 1% sales tax was put in place by voters to lessen the overall burden - and so each year the 180million tax is supposedly recalculated and then reduced based on this sales tax.
