My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California
My apartment management required me to pay pet deposit of $500 for my dog. My lease was ending next month but I paid it since the mangement said they will return the deposit when I move out.
I extended my notice after my lease ended on a month to month basis. I have recently moved out (with my dog) but my roomate still lives there.
Question is
Can I ask them for my pet deposit??
Would they into the unit to check /inspect for my dog?
My roomate has a small rabbit. Are rabbits considered pets and do they also require pet deposit?
When they go to the unit for the inspection and see the rabbit would they not refund me my pet deposit?
Or would they return my deposit and have her pay $500 seperately for her rabbbit?
