If you're going to allow them, get a flat fee (non-refundable) for the pet, then a pet deposit and writing in the lease that says you can go after them for the regular deposit for any problems their pet causes.
And if they say they don't have pets, check with the neighbors and make sure - lots of folks try to sneak them in to avoid the fees/deposits.

Exactly.
I know that there was a place I lived where it must have been wild kingdom downstair apt there. They had a parrot, dogs, cats, ferrets, and who knows what else. The landlord is a business partner in my production company, and when I said something to him, he had no clue.
I told him his $50 a month pet deposit wasn't going to handle all dat shit. He found out when he had to put over $10k in that apartment to fix it after they moved.
I chuckled, and said, well at least you got that extra fiddy.
