Pet deposits/fees & service/ESA animals in Indiana
A refundable pet deposit is a security deposit in Indiana, since the definition includes any money returnable to the tenant on condition of the unit's return in the required condition (IC 32-31-3-9(b)(3)), so the deposit return rules in IC 32-31-3 apply. The chapter has no separate pet deposit rule.
