I live in Arizona, and my family and I just recently moved from one city to another due to work issues. Well our deposit at our last rental (security deposit) was 900.00 which included a pet fee of 250.00 for all 4 pets. All our pets were put on the lease. After we moved, we found out that they took all our deposit and expected us to pay them 170.00 more for things that we had done ourselves...such as charging us a cleaning fee for 22.50 an hour, when we cleaned everything and there was nothing to do, and charging us 22 an hour to do landscaping on the front yard, when they asked us to not mess with the yard because they wanted to work on it. Anyways the main point is that they also charged us 500.00 for 5 extra pets. We do not know where they get five extra pets. We had 4 dogs, (all on the lease) 2 ferrets...one that was not even in our custody till a week before we left the rental. We also had 2 beta fish and 1 cockatiel. All caged or contained. I would like to know if we have a case to argue about the pets, or if they landlords are within rights to charge us for 2 fish, 1 bird, and 2 ferrets. Our lease says that the landlords cannont change the lease without 30 days notice. Nothing about fish, ferrets or birds were in the lease....could anyone please let me know what we should do in this situation.
Sincerely,
April Ann
