What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL

I think the girl who processed my app was eager to sell me the lease. Anyway, might there be a statute of limitations to collect, and especially if on my app I mentioned my cat? If not and I leave and they take it out of my SD would I have a case? I think I would, especially since LLC has up to the amount of my SD. Okay, but the 'non-refundable pet fee" isn't necessarily meant for pet damage, and my lease agreement just says to have a pet there is a fee. But again, I mentioned my pet... they write up agreement without pet fee box checked, per the generosity, selfishness, or just absent-mindedness of their employee -on behalf of the company... deal done no? I just don't feel justified handing them $300 for my clean little cat unless they can pull up a bill beyond 1k or whatever the sufficient deposit was.

If you did not make sure the pet was included in the lease, you get no pet, unless you add the pet to the agreement and pay the appropriate charges.

You mention a non-refundable pet fee.

You owe the pet fee.

Let's just say for the heck of it , you did not have a pet at the time of signing and there was not pet fee.

At some point ,even at 20 months ,you get a pet.

You pay the non-refundable pet fee.

You know/knew the fee existed , pay it .

Offer since it was on oversite ,to make payments until it's Pd. in full.

Can they take it from your SD ( the fee only ) , if it's considered added rent ,probably.

If you don't pay it , you are in violation of the lease and they can evict.

You have two options:

1.) Pay the fee, and be done with it.

2.) Don't pay the fee. PO landlord and risk having to move. Would that be cheaper than the fee?

The choice is yours.
