Legal Question in Consumer Law in California
Pet violation of rental agreement
We have a rental agreement with a renter to allow his (only) dog to stay in the garage (not inside the house) and he even gave us a bigger deposit for this reason. However, months later we found that he brought in two cats physically inside the house. We
immediately notified him of the violation (but it was
close to the end of the lease) and he said the cats belong to his daughter who visited during the summer.
After he moved out, we found some dirty areas with cat hair/urine and some urine spots on the carpet.
Can we withhold some of his deposit for this reason?
Thank you.

You can hold the actual cost of repair/cleaning from the deposit.
