What do you charge for Pet Fees?

One of the most common questions I see as a Landlord when leasing out my properties is around Pet Fees/Pet Restrictions.  When renting with my furry friend in the past, it was not uncommon to run into Non-Refundable Pet Fees, Pet Security Deposit, and a Monthly Pet Rent. 

What are you charging in Pet Fees?🐶🐱🐰
Have you increased any of your fees recently?

Non-Refundable Pet Fee
Refundable Security Deposit
Monthly Pet Rent
All of the above
None of the above
I want to see the responses!

I do a refundable deposit as well as monthly pet rent. The pet rent isn't high, only 20 dollars, but that way it pays for the extra few hours required to clean all the pet hair and things. However, with the refundable deposit I have seen better results with people cleaning up after themselves and less work required to deal with the aftermath.
