Is the pet deposit separate from the security deposit and if so, what is the maximum amount that can be charged?

Pet deposits should NOT be termed as such as the amount could only be used to repair "pet damage". Most landlords increase their SECURITY DEPOSIT a specific amount when pets are allowed in rental property.

In British Columbia, Canada a separate deposit may be asked by the landlord if you have a pet. The pet deposit can be the same amount as the security deposit and bet the landlord will use it all up!

This is new and probably depends on your location.

I charge maximum security deposit and since I'm not suppose to discriminate against pet owners, if I had one, I would charge maximum pet deposit. It's just the price of an additional free-loading animal!
