Bill Summary
An Act relating to landlord and tenant; providing that a landlord may require either a pet deposit or a pet fee for tenants that own a pet; prohibiting pet rent; providing for codification; and providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill, concerning landlord and tenant relations regarding pets, establishes that landlords can require either a pet deposit or a pet fee from tenants who own pets, but not both. A pet deposit is defined as a refundable, one-time payment held in escrow to cover actual damages caused by a pet, with any unused portion returned to the tenant. A pet fee, on the other hand, is a nonrefundable, one-time charge solely for the privilege of having a pet on the property, and is not linked to actual damages. Crucially, the bill prohibits landlords from charging "pet rent," which is defined as a recurring payment for having a pet. This legislation is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
