Topic: Tenant brings in cat while in escrow.
I bought a rental with leases in place. The tenants had no pets and the leases were up in two months after the purchase. The tenant while traveling out of state finds a stray cat and brings it home. The tenant asked the previous owner if they could bring in a cat. The owner told them that they could but that they would have to ask the new owner (myself) as we were closing soon or already closed on the rental. The tenant never asked me if it was alright. Later I asked the owner what they charge for a pet, they answered $250 non-refundable from the deposit. Am I allowed to charge this amount given the tenant never asked me and the contract allows for pet charges to be retained from the deposit but not a specific amount?
