We paid a pet deposit when we rented a house in California. Nowhere in the lease does it state that it is a non-refundable pet deposit. I was wondering if there were any laws about it needing to state that it is a non refundable or if it doesn't then the pet deposit would have to be returned.
We had our security deposit returned in full but now our landlord is claiming that the pet deposit was non-refundable -- which had that been in the lease or told to us, we would not have rented that house.
What is California's position on this? I have looked on several web sites but nothing said that it is non-refundable -- just that it may be. And since it isn't on the lease as non-refundable, is it?
Many thanks in advance,
