I've lived in apartments since I was 19 years old. In a little over three and a half years I have lived in five, yes five, different apartments (Never been evicted or anything, I just am never satisfied. Besides I enjoy moving.) from anywhere between 2 months to a full year. The entire time I have had a cat, Merlin. (<~~Go see the fabulous kittyluv Merlin!)
Out of these 5 different apartments I have paid the pet fee (and now I have three cats) three times. It's not a deposit that is returned later, it is non-refundable. Each time I paid it I only paid it for one cat despite the fact that I had acquired more. When I did not pay the fees I never had any trouble from the apartment complex at all.
So here's my question. Does anyone else pay the pet fees?? Does anyone not pay the pet fees?? Has anyone ever actually gotten in trouble for not paying a pet fee and what did you have to do to redeem yourself?? I know this sounds random but whenever I move to a new place I always have a debate with myself about whether I'm paying the fee and if I'm going to pay it for all three pets (which I have never yet done.) On top of that, I have plenty of friends who have never paid a pet fee and seem to be doing just fine.
