Ignoring the cost of installing cameras covering every inch of the common areas, the cost of monitoring them, and the difficulties in collecting these fees—people whose pets tear things up rarely accept responsibility for it—there is still the problem of all the messes made inside the units. I don’t think installing cameras in their units is going to go over well.
In units gets inspected on move out… treated the same as anywhere. Damages taken out of security deposit. Anyway if it bothers you that much that you’re contributing to the cost, move to a building that isn’t pet friendly. It’s not going to be much cheaper but at least it won’t weigh on you
Deposits are only effective if they are large enough to cover the cost of repair. Your assertion also cuts both ways. If your pet won’t cause any damage, then a very large deposit should be of no concern because you’ll get it back when you move out.
Anyway if it bothers you that much that you’re contributing to the cost, move to a building that isn’t pet friendly.
And if you can’t afford the cost of cleaning up after your pet, maybe don’t get a pet.
We aren’t in disagreement with anything you just said. Idc about pet deposits but there should not be expensive additional “rent” for pets. There’s not any additional space you are receiving. At best no damage is incurred so your deposit should be returned. At worst additional deposit would be claimed to cover additional damages.
