What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? GA
The subject basically says it all.
We have two small dogs. We have a 250/dog per year NON REFUNDABLE pet deposit.
We signed a two year lease, and the first year is up. Our landlord is by the book kinda guy. We pay 1350/rent and put down a $2000.00 security deposit. We received the letter today asking for the $500.00 NON refundable pet deposit.
Two part question - our rental agreement states that the pet deposit in NON-refundable- is this allowed in GA - I know deposit means refundable and fee means non refundable - but in this case, it states the deposit in non refundable.
second - since we dont really have 500 bucks lying around (wife lost her job - looking for new, etc etc.) Would it be fair/OK to ask our landlord to take it out of the $2000.00 security deposit we gave him last year?
Thanks for your time.
