What the fuck kind of dystopic garbage is "pet rent"? Is this something I'm too actual tenant rights to understand?

[-] JustUseMint@lemmy.world 48 points 8 months ago

This is unfortunately very common in the US, standard in fact almost

I get that pets can increase the amount of damage a property suffers.

I had to pay a cat deposit when I moved in and got it back when I proved I had properly cleaned the carpets.

Oh no that's crazy haha

You're paying for the building. Doesn't make any sense having a pet would increase that.

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 14 points 8 months ago

My immediate thought was that you can rent a cat if you don't own one.

But yeah, it just looks like "there's gonna be another tenant, pay for that" and the tenant is a cat

Which is stupid anyway, rent shouldn't depend on the number of people in the unit, you are paying for the apartment/house/etc, not some goddam per person usage.

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 1 points 8 months ago

In fact, the wear and tear of the apartment is going to increase with the number of people, but usually it's not taken into consideration
