When I was working on mine I was making $1800 and rent was only ~$720 for a 2 bed. I think that included pet rent too.

The mental toll however...(Hundreds of thousands of dollars in insurance claims later, probably more)

Yeah so you have to pay an extra monthly "rent" PER PET (not to mention the extra deposits! Yes plural)

I was looking at a place the other day. 2 bedroom apartment in a shitty area. I didn't take notes on all the costs but this is what I have:

Application Fee: $50 per applicant

Rent: ~~$1450~~ $2115

Security Deposit: ~~$1450~~ $2115

Nonrefundable Pet Deposit per pet: $300

Pet Deposit per pet: $200

Pet Rent per pet: $25

No utilities included

Edit: misremembered the rent by a lot

Its not uncommon for apartment complexes to charge another small monthly fee to have a pet (usually specifically a cat or dog) in the unit. I'm also paying a pet rent and its like $20-30 where I live. Is it BS? Definitely.
