Its not uncommon for apartment complexes to charge another small monthly fee to have a pet (usually specifically a cat or dog) in the unit. I’m also paying a pet rent and its like $20-30 where I live. Is it BS? Definitely.

Yeah so you have to pay an extra monthly “rent” PER PET (not to mention the extra deposits! Yes plural)

I was looking at a place the other day. 2 bedroom apartment in a shitty area. I didn’t take notes on all the costs but this is what I have:

Application Fee: $50 per applicant

Rent: $1450 $2115

Security Deposit: $1450 $2115

Nonrefundable Pet Deposit per pet: $300

Pet Deposit per pet: $200

Pet Rent per pet: $25

No utilities included

Edit: misremembered the rent by a lot
