Should pet bans be banned?

[Ruth]

I live in an apartment place that allows dogs, cats, birds and whatever you have. The landlord makes us pay a $300.00 deposit for animals and it is non-refundable. He now also made us all get renter's insurance. Almost everyone living here in 100 apartments has a pet or multiple pets. I didn't know that they accepted dogs and cats when I first moved here and when I found out I went and got Suzy. She has dug up the carpet by the door when I was out. So I put a rug over that. She will dig up the carpet if I leave her in the living room when I'm gone. I usually take her with me but when I have certain appointments and she can't go I put her in the kitchen and close the doors in there. I also leave a toy with her. The kitchen is a good size and she doesn't bother the tiles in there.
