Question: Can a landlord charge me more because I have a pet?
Answer: Yes. Your landlord may choose to charge you extra rent and/or a non-refundable pet fee as compensation for allowing you to keep a pet at your apartment. Your landlord may also choose to base this fee on the size and type of pet you own. And for your protection, any agreement you have with your landlord about pets in your apartment should be in writing on the rental agreement.
So if you’re relocating to Clayton, NC with pets, and you’re planning on renting an apartment or home in the area, keep this in mind.
