That's probably true. Pet rent was a normal thing in any apartment
where I ever lived. The owners/property management company anticipates
some damage and charges extra. Renters know this going in. Some places
won't allow pets *at all*. I would not live in such a place.

Needless to say, the manager took the pet rent off my bill. And I
didn't bother to tell her when Persia showed up at my back door
demanding to be let in.
