I'm a landlord in Washington, and I recently reduced the rent by $150 to make the lease work for a prospective tenant.

Afterward, I learned through the rental application that they have a Border Collie mix that weighs more than 50 pounds. The dog wasn't mentioned during our earlier conversations or while touring the property.

I'm trying to decide what would be considered fair in this situation.

For landlords who rent single-family homes, what would you typically charge for:

• Monthly pet rent for a 50+ lb dog?
• A pet deposit?

Would the fact that the dog wasn't disclosed until the application stage affect your decision?

I'd appreciate hearing how other landlords would handle this.

It has been dropped almost 200k .

My mother-in-law has made our lives miserable. We've done everything for her, yet every single month she comes up with a new reason to ask for money—often in lakhs.

Now they wants to build rooms on the third floor. When my husband told her, "Why are you want to spend unnecessarily?" she started crying. As soon as she cried, my husband gave them whatever money they wanted, just to avoid upsetting her.

I honestly don't know what her problem is. She's draining my husband's life. She doesn't even see that he's developed anxiety because of the constant stress of earning money and meeting everyone's financial demands.

My 36-year-old brother-in-law doesn't work at all. He has two children, and even their basic needs are being paid for by my husband. My husband has also taken responsibility for his sister's marriage. Because we live abroad, my mother-in-law seems to think we have a money tree. She has practically told my husband that he is responsible for his brother's family, as if he is their father.

What she ignores is that we have two children of our own to raise abroad, where the cost of living is extremely high. Job layoffs are common, and there is constant financial uncertainty. Yet none of that seems to matter.

It feels like some parents have children only to use them as ATMs for the rest of their lives. The unfair part is that she never expects her other son to earn or contribute. Instead, my husband is expected to take care of everything—not just basic necessities, but also their luxurious lifestyle. They expect expensive gold jewelry, a ₹20 lakh car, a large villa, and every possible comfort, despite already having good food, a comfortable home, and all the essentials. No matter how much is given, it never seems to be enough.
