Looking to see what others have been charging for pet rent and pet deposit (each)? Small dog in house? Large dog outside only?

@Brian Ennis

Non-refundable pet deposit ranges from $200 to $500. You may charge higher for breeds that are more destructive or aggressive. 

All the best!

Really depends on your market.   Do some research on Zillow and see what others are charging.   $25-45 per pet per month seems typical as does $200-500 on the move in pet fee.   Just don't want to charge way more than they can get elsewhere.

@Brian Ennis We charge a one time, non-refundable pet fee - most landlords usually charge anywhere between $50-$500 for pet fees, which you can use for any damages. You can charge this fee, depending on the amount of risk presented by the pet. Additionally, we charge a small monthly amount for pet rent, where you can charge anywhere from $10-$80 each month. Pet fees (whether one time or monthly rent) are not legal in every state, so I suggest you refer to your state laws as well.
