Pet rent seldom has anything to do with damage. If you pay pet rent, and then move out and the property manager finds damage, they make you pay for the damage out of your deposit anyway.

The last place I rented had pet rent AND a deposit. The rent definitely a junk fee. It did not accumulate or get tracked.

You choose to own a pet. Building owners choose to set the rent.

What exactly is the problem, here? Other than a small group of people wanting special treatment?

I don't think I can have a conversation about this if you don't understand the concept of "junk fees."
