What the fuck kind of dystopic garbage is "pet rent"? Is this something I'm too actual tenant rights to understand?

[-] Lmaydev@programming.dev 39 points 1 year ago

I get that pets can increase the amount of damage a property suffers.

I had to pay a cat deposit when I moved in and got it back when I proved I had properly cleaned the carpets.

Oh no that's crazy haha

You're paying for the building. Doesn't make any sense having a pet would increase that.

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 14 points 1 year ago

My immediate thought was that you can rent a cat if you don't own one.

But yeah, it just looks like "there's gonna be another tenant, pay for that" and the tenant is a cat

[-] Strykker@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Which is stupid anyway, rent shouldn't depend on the number of people in the unit, you are paying for the apartment/house/etc, not some goddam per person usage.

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

In fact, the wear and tear of the apartment is going to increase with the number of people, but usually it's not taken into consideration

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Pets tend to destroy a lot of stuff, intentionally or not. If you are renting out an apartment and would have to replace the sofa because a tennant's cat doesn't have a scratching post, versus renting out to someone who doesn't have a cat and that problem vanishes. Pee on the floorboards can get into them and bloat (i.e. pet misses the litterbox, just wants attention or got sick). You can't control these accidents, unless you put them in diapers, which nobody obviously does.

What is the deposit for then?

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Oh, is that abnormal? Sorry my country opposes freedom from the capital holding class

[-] Paddzr@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

New shit UK is trying to push too.

[-] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 72 points 1 year ago

Not sure why they needed to say "2 pet limit" at the bottom, they already clarified that with "Cat Cat".

[-] omgarm@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

What if somebody bread their catdogs and ended up with a litter of catcats and dogdogs?

[-] SomeBoyo@feddit.de 28 points 1 year ago

Finally a home, that doesn't discriminate against imsorryjon levels of cat

[-] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Cant live without my lovecraftian horror

[-] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Always a concern after they tie their life force to yours. It makes moving so inconvenient.

[-] workerONE@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

That's fucked up to charge both a deposit and "monthly pet rent"

Up to two.

So a cat cat and a cat cat.

[-] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

There's for sure a story about somebody trying to have a cat-panther so they need to make sure.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 21 points 1 year ago

I guess they occasionally have someone bringing in a cougar or something

[-] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago

Nobody told me my girlfriend couldn't stay over.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 3 points 1 year ago

I'm talking about cougar, not cougar.

[-] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Hey man, age is just a number okay?

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Oh lawd, he coming

[-] teft@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

A mid sized mountain lion would satisfy those requirements. Just saying…

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 18 points 1 year ago

Had problems with fucking tigers before.

[-] instamat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I’d like to see you not have problems fucking a tiger, buddy

[-] ooterness@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

So is the 200 lb limit per cat? Or a total?

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 5 points 1 year ago

Also how much does a Tiger weigh?

[-] ooterness@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The three major types are Bengal, Siberian, and Sumatran tigers. For an adult tiger, Wikipedia says 165 to 675 lbs (75 to 300 kg) depending on type.

TL;DR: Female Sumatran tigers are allowed.

[-] glibg10b@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

The monthly pet rent is outrageous

[-] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Which pets do they have to rent?
