After living in our residence for a year, our landlord just sent us a nasty letter informing us that we owe $500.00 because we have 3 dogs instead of just 1. Is it legal for them to charge me $250 per pet? Is there anybody I can turn to for assistance in this matter? A security deposit in Michigan is not to exceed a month and a half's worth of rent. Our rent is $400/month. I paid a $400 security deposit and a $250 pet deposit and now am expected to pay an additional $500 deposit - all of which I know I will not see a penny of - landlord notorious for not returning money ever. Please help!

He probably can ask for the deposit--check your lease for details. If it didn't say 'per pet' in the lease you could be OK, though it may say that you need approval for each pet.

At any rate, he can't do too much to you--it is difficult to evict someone, and next to impossible if they are paying their rent on time and not destroying the house. If you don't want to pay it, don't.

you've to verify ordinances the position you stay, yet likely it truly is market forces that ascertain how a lot the owner can fee. there might want to be no decrease. Your really recourse might want to be in case you locate someone with a kitten that change into charged really a fragment of that volume. Then, it turns into discrimination. possibly not legally incorrect, yet a level to make. yet searching that out might want to be confusing.

The state has no law on the matter. However, your individual city/county may have such an ordinance. I suggest you contact a realty company or a lawyer who specializes in property and real estate law.
