Thanks all for helping me with pricing. Now it's whether I want to cave-in and allow the cat.

@Levi T.

I guess varies by area.

@Josh July

Not a cat person myself but the litter box I assume is something the cat will "always" use. 

I want to have clear understanding of what I am getting into if I allow this. As long as the cat has a litter box I can't foresee why there would be any urine - and I've read the stories of people trying to remove that ordor or stain.

@Kim Meredith Hampton 

What made you choose to not charge monthly?

What does the pet application give you - what do you ask?

@Mark Radford LOL thanks for the laughter. As I was reading and saw $10 per fish, immediately thought "really", "wow" ok if that's a standard.

Thank you for this base line. I had nothing to go on and appears that size matters as they go up in scale. For a cat I'm now thinking $35 per month.

Hi all,

I'm "considering" renting to someone who has a cat. This going against my strict policy of no pets to forego the rental sitting on the market longer than normal.

My PM says that I can charge a SD for the cat and a monthly rental OR a fee that is one time. IF I do this I'm leaning toward the SD and the monthly rent.

They (PM) couldn't give me a range since they don't rent to pet owners as they also have a strict policy for their properties as do their clients - go figure. Having had bad experiences it's just not worth it - but again I'm now faced with the rental sitting unoccupied.

Back to the $.

I didn't see anything in the FLa Statute about pets - quick read so I may have to go back. For a tenant it's one month rent or two as I have see other owners charge for a tenant SD.

Throwing out some numbers: $250 SD $35 rent? 

Since SD is for damages, $250 may not be enough depending on what the cat did to the walls or floors (all laminate throughout).

What is considered a reasonable SD and monthly for a cat?

Thank you

Daria

 Is that considered somewhat insider trading?

Thanks @Account Closed for another source.

So you do all the work and because of this additional language, if added, you get no commission? If that's true I would be concerned.

They "requested", meaning you don't have to add this - true?
