Do I HAVE to have the same pet policy for all units in my amplex?

In my 9 unit complex, I recently rehabbed a unit with new carpets and then filled it with a new tenant. A month later, they're asking if they can get a cat. It strictly states in their lease that no pets are allowed however I allowed their neighbor (who I inherited at purchase) to have one without having to pay a monthly fee because the unit hasnt been updated yet and it doesnt have carpet. Should I stick to the lease and not allow it and deal with the "but my neighbor is allowed to" argument or allow it and just charge a monthly pet fee? I can use the new carpet as justification for the fee when they ask why the other tenant isnt paying a fee?
