Responding to this story
A $2000 bond is fair enough. My tenant kept a dog illegally in my unit. When he moved out it cost me over $11,000 to repair the damage caused by the dog. The entire unit had to be repainted. The carpet and lino had to be replaced. The vertical drapes on all the windows had to be replaced and the courtyard had to be topsoiled and re-turfed.
Landlord insurance wouldn’t cover the damage and the bond was <$1,000 because the tenant had been there 11 years. (There were no problems until he moved in his girlfriend and her dog.) The dog had been allowed to urinate on the carpet and dig up the courtyard and the yard was covered in dog poop. There is no way I will ever allow a dog in there again, no matter what the bond is.
