pet deposits

Tenant's furry surcharge

A pet deposit is a refundable sum paid by a tenant to a landlord when moving in with animals, covering potential damage beyond normal wear.

Distinguished from pet fees (non-refundable) and pet rent (monthly charges), though landlords sometimes use these terms interchangeably: The lease requires a $300 pet deposit per animal.
