Las Vegas Dog Friendly Apartments: Security Deposit

Some cat and dog friendly apartments require tenants with pets to pay a larger security deposits. The deposit helps pay for any potential damage that may be caused by the dog living there. Messing on carpet, chewing on walls and scratching doors can cost quite a bit of money to fix, so pet owners can expect to pay a little more up front when renting.

However, you will want to do a walk-through of the apartment with your property manager or landlord before you move in and before you move out. Take pictures and make notes of any existing damage during the walk-through so the landlord does not keep your deposit because of damage caused by a previous tenant.
