Have you ever had to pay rent for owning your pets? We are moving into a new apartment soon and they want us to pay for our cats living there.

No, not had to pay rent for animals, although some people will charge extra as a deposit in case of mess being made by them. -
Yes, I've heard of Pet Bonds to cover any damage that might occur. Mind you it's a wonder they haven't started levying a Kids Bond!Ali

I've offered to pay an extra "damage deposit" for my pets (birds) but I wouldn't pay extra rent, noAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment

My guess is that they don't really want pets and are sort of trying to put you off."Nicos, Queen of Gooooogle" and... GYO's own Miss Marple

Not many Landlords let you have pets here. I agree with Feral too. Kids can cause way more damage!Comment

LOL when my kids were younger we were knocked back by one real estate agent as we had a dog; knocked back by another because we had kids............TG not everyone was so hard we ended up with a house for both and looked after it all. I do understand they don't want too much damage. Where we live now you can't have pets for the first 3 months if you have no pet rental history. If you have a good history you and your pet are in - if not they don't want you and the pet trashing the place. Guess realistically it's the owners of the pet who are the probemAli

If there is any kind of 'service' provided (cleaners?) there might be some point to a charge, or maybe they are reckoning on having to reduce rent for a neighbour who doesn't like living close to your pet?
If it's a 'totally indoors' cat, there may be extra in rubbish-disposal complexity (or they may think there could be).
That ends the 'perhaps not unreasonable' side.
I don't think many folk over here would keep a cat if they didn't have any 'own' outside space.Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.Comment
