I am alright with paying a pet fee up front now, but NOT if I will have to pay it again when I renew the lease. Any ideas?

Pet fee deposit is the same as your person deposit. One time fee. Most of the time non refundable.

you should ask your landlord. the people in yahoo answers do not make the rules for having pets in your apartment.

There's a difference (in my apartment complex anyway) between a pet FEE and a pet DEPOSIT. A FEE is something that is added to each month's rent. A DEPOSIT is a one-time charge when you first moved in. My particular apartment complex has BOTH -- if you have a dog or a cat, you pay a PREMIUM every single month for that privilege. I have birds and didn't have to pay either one.

I charge my tenants a one-time pet fee. The tenant does not pay the fee again if they renew the lease. The fee, however, is non-refundable. It covers deodorizing and any repairs resulting from the animal.
If you have any doubts, you should ask your landlord.

no the pet fee is for the duration of your stay including the renewal

Probably not. A pet fee is usually like a damage deposit to clean up stinking pet mess after you move out. You don't have to pay an additional damage deposit when you renew a lease, do you?
