Tenant wants to add a pet to the lease agreeement.

[Kye Dawson]

Hello,

I have a tenant that signed to a 2 year lease that states no pets allowed two months ago.   She is now wanting to get a pet added.  What would be the best route of action?  I do have a pet policy that requires an additional $300 refundable pet security deposit and a $50/mo per pet requirement.

If you don't allow pets then say no.  If you are ok with pets then implement your pet policy through a lease addendum.  I would make the $300 non refundable along with the $50/month.
