Landlords hate it because you force them to incur extra expenses in wear/tear and cleaning. I'm saying this as a person that's on the spectrum, has owned cats all my life, and has had a cat that destroyed subflooring in an apartment by peeing outside of the litterbox. It was literally $1000 in damage to replace the carpet--this was 20 years ago--and the damaged subflooring, and that was above and beyond the deposit that we'd paid.

And yet ~~landlords~~ corporations today have no problem charging "market value" for an individual apartment which fluctuates on a daily basis based on nothing more than what they think they can pump you for. I have no problem with them using some of their own ill-gotten gains for repairs.
