When I was living in Tucson I had to pay a $20 a month rent for my dog, plus a $300 pet deposit. It's pretty standard, as much as it sucks, mostly because pets have a tendency to mess up a place. My complex allowed dogs but no cats unless it was de-clawed and fixed because some cat owner probably allowed their cat to destroy the carpet, and their non fixed cats peed all over the place...and you know how impossible that smell is to remove. I figure it's kind of a deterrent for people to have pets in apartments as they can cause so many issues for the land owner. |
