What is the amount allowed by law for a landlord to charge the tenant for a pet deposit to allow them to have a dog in the rental?

Puglover, I see that you read this post (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/real-estate-law/pet-deposit-37952.html#post182950):



CA deposits by any name can not be over 2X the monthly rent for unfurnished properties or 3X monthly rent for furnished properties.

Does that not answer your question?

Deposits - cleaning, pet, key are ALL included in the amount allowed under 1950.5 of CA Civil Code.

What is the allowed pet deposit for 3 pets
