Pets can strain tight budgets

Pets may be intoxicatingly cute to students who miss cats and dogs from home or want a new furry and loyal roommate, but his first piddle-puddle accident on the carpet could end up costing owners up to $800.

I think that apartment complexes should inculde a pet fee in the rent. I lived in an apartment complex that made you pay a deposit or a monthly fee for an animal. I think that it should also be a requirement that the dog be house trained before moving into the apartment. To be honest, I would never have a pet in my apartment again because it's such an inconvenience. Adjusting to college and taking care of yourself is hard enough, without the added stress of a pet. Not to mention, paying for a pet to be able to live with you is ridiculous. So either the apartment complex needs to add on an extra fee to the rent or loose the policy in general.
