Landlord Question and Answer Forum
Hello! We are writing up a one year lease in the state of CA. Is a typical deposit last month's rent? Also, what do people typically charge as a pet deposit? Is it typical to charge per pet?

RE: Typical Deposit Amounts?
You have to check your own city guidelines however security deposit is not usually regulated and is about one months rent. Also Pet deposits are not often regulated and may be made non-refundable.

RE: Typical Deposit Amounts?
Definitely check your own city/state guidelines. In NJ, security deposit can be up to 1.5X the rent. I'm not aware of any regulations regarding pet deposits so can't help you there.
