FAQ
Pet Deposits in Maryland Maryland law allows property managers/landlords to charge a pet security deposit. ing to the Federal Fair Housing Act, people with disabilities may not have to pay a pet security deposit if they use service animals, as they're entitled to full access to housing.
Paragraph of your Lease Agreement specifically prohibits pets. The pet must be removed from the premises immediately. An inspection of the property will be conducted on (Date and Time) to verify the unauthorized pet is no longer in the property.
Some information to have so you can show your new landlord includes: A letter from your current landlord speaking to how well-behaved and non-disruptive your pet is. Vet records, including records from vaccinations and checkups. Records from any training or obedience classes your pet has taken. Spay or neuter records.
In Maryland, landlords can charge a pet deposit, except for service dogs and emotional support animals. However, the total security deposit cannot exceed two months' rent. Landlords cannot exceed the limit by giving them another name like ?pet deposit? or ?damage deposit.?
The security deposit may not be more than two months' rent. If you are overcharged, you have the right to recover up to three times the extra amount charged, plus reasonable attorney's fees. The landlord must give you a receipt for the security deposit. The receipt can be included in the written lease.
$200 initial pet fee and $35/month pet rent is usually more than adequate.
An average pet deposit is usually between $100 and $600. It's worth noting that pet deposits only cover pet-related damage, not normal wear and tear. You'll need to check state and local laws to see if there are restrictions on pet deposits.
