Is my landlord charging me rent "a non-refundable fee for a human each month, simply for existing"? Why shouldn't a landlord offer the option if that's what they're comfortable with? Why is strictly less choice better for a pet owner?

Presumably the rent is the same whether it's just you, or you and an autistic child.

Why are you comparing children with autism to animals? You could have simply said "children", as all children are likely to cause some damage to a home that an adult would not.

Apologies, that was careless. I was recalling a specific situation of a woman and child who lived above me 5 years ago. I let the details of this lady's situation seep into my analogy and it came off really poorly.
