Answer: A pet deposit is generally subject to the same overall limit for security deposits — currently twice the monthly rent and dropping to one month of rent on July 1, 2024.
The Tenant Protection Act caps rent increases for most residential tenants in California. Landlords can't raise rent more than 10% total or 5% + CPI increase (whichever is lower) over a 12-month period. No-fault evictions are prohibited, so landlords can't evict a tenant without cause.
AB 12 amends California Civil Code Section 1950.5 to limit the maximum security deposit for a dwelling unit to one month's rent, regardless of whether the unit is furnished or unfurnished.
What are the limits on pet deposits for California rentals as of 2024? Pet deposits for unfurnished units cannot exceed two months' rent, while furnished units have a higher limit. These deposits must be returned wholly or partially unless legitimate damage is found.
Pet owners shall be strictly liable for the entire amount of any injury to the person or property of other Tenants, staff or visitors on the premises, caused by their pet. (Pet liability insurance can be obtained through most insurance agents and can be included in renters' policies.)
There is no way of getting around a no pet rule. If you bring in an unauthorized pet, you risk getting evicted. Find a unit that accepts pets.
A landlord can require any tenant with a pet to have insurance, liability or not., as long as all tenants are treated the same.
Re: Permission to have a pet in my apartment Dear (Name of landlord or manager), I am writing to you today to request permission to adopt a (insert animal) to join our household. As current, responsible tenants, we'd like to make every effort to assure you we'll be courteous pet owners.
If your lease say no pets without prior written consent, then you are not allowed pets without written consent. It does not matter whether other neighbors have pets. The only lease that matters is yours and if you do not have prior written permission, you cannot have pets and pets includes cats.
When considering adding another pet to your rental, it's essential to discuss this with your landlord beforehand. Schedule a meeting to address your request professionally. Highlight your responsible pet ownership, your current pets' behavior, and any measures you've taken to maintain the property.
