There's a monthly non-refundable fee that I pay for use and regular wear and tear of the property. It's called R E N T, and the difference between that and a landlord's costs is called profit. If you don't want any wear and tear on your property, or any income from it, there's a simple remedy - don't let it out. Some people cause less than regular wear and tear. Some people cause more. If it gets too high, it becomes irregular, it gets pulled out of your damage deposit. If that's not enough, the landlord is free to sue. None of this is relevant to this thread, though, because pet fees have been banned for 10 years in Seattle. This legislature isn't about pet fees.
