West Virginia Pet Addendum

This West Virginia pet addendum lets a tenant keep named animals on an existing lease. West Virginia does not set a statewide maximum security deposit. A pet deposit is still refundable unless it is clearly labeled a nonrefundable fee, and it must be accounted for with the rest of the deposit. Assistance animals required by fair-housing law are not pets and cannot be charged a pet deposit or pet rent. It does not replace the lease, and it does not apply to assistance animals.

• Spell out whether the pet money is a refundable deposit or a labeled fee.
• Unused deposit money is generally due within 60 days (W. Va. Code § 37-6A-4).
• Assistance animals are not pets. Do not use this addendum to charge a deposit or rent for one.
