      Shouldn't there be a kid fee then? Kids are likely to cause damage and everyone is subsidizing it.

      It should just be common sense. You have a kid or you have a pet. They damaged the property, you pay it.

        Kids do less damage and there's a stronger argument for subsidizing them than dogs.

        Pet rent isn't about directly covering damage; it's more like buying an insurance policy that occasionally covers large pet-necessitated repairs.

          Depends on the kid
