Do you agree with pet rent?

My girlfriend is looking for apartments in Denver and every place requires both a pet deposit and a pet rent. Some even a one time pet fee on top of all of that. The pet rent ranges up to $100 per pet. Where I am from in Canada, I have never heard of such a thing. You pay a pet deposit and get it refunded if there are no damages. What is the point of a pet rent if you are paying a pet deposit? Any landlords here charge pet rent? Not trying to hate on any valid reasons for this, I just have never seen it so it's odd to me.
