Pet rent vs pet fee in Seattle
Hi, I'm thinking about charging pet rent instead of a non-refundable pet fee. Does anyone have any experience with pet rent? Can I just update my pet agreement and change the language to a monthly payment or do I need to include it in the lease agreement in addition to some form of pet agreement?
Thanks,
David

Seattle is a moving target but I'm pretty confident that it's still allowed, as long as the pet rent and increases don't violate any rental increase limits on your existing tenants. We typically charge $25 per dog/cat per month. One tenant had 3 dogs - the $75 extra a month was nice, but we definitely needed to renovated the unit after they left...
