Well, I don't think so far the large chain out fits. Now if you are staying
at a small independent place this might be the case. If you don't want to
pay the deposit my recommendation is find another place to stay. More of my
thoughts.

That is true, but they are not saying that, they are just taking it and not
giving an account as to what they are doing. A sighted person they give an
accounting to every time for charges.  However they feel that they don't oah
us any explanation what so ever. If they are taking an deposit then they
need to say so, and return it if there is no problem. The thing is that they
will find something to justify them keeping all, or most of the money.
Remember this society is sick, and how ever, and by who ever.

The late Bishop Joe Patterson told a story long ago, when I was a small
child.  About Elijah, and the 450 false prophets of bail.  He said that
Elijah, stood, and told the false prophets to go on ahead, because they had
a much larger program.  He said that they had 450 participants, and he only
had one.  Elijah, also reminded them, that they had to drag their god up the
mountain side on an ox cart.  the man of Yahweh, also said, that his Elohim
would be there when he arrived.  He said mockingly, you go on ahead.  Heck,
I will even let you call your god first.  I'M going to take a nap, and when
you guys finish your foolishness, wake me up. Go ahead now, take your best
shot.

Yes, it is good business practice. They're not charging for damages before
it happens they are getting a deposit. I my self do not think they are out
side the law. Anyone else would have to put up a deposit even if they were
aloud to have the animal inside the room at all. Just because we are blind
don't make us special. Now I do think we have certain rights as a handy cap
or disable person. But not paying a deposit for your dog or what ever animal
that could or could not cause damage is not one of them. If no damage is
done then you should get your money reimburse . If not this is what the
court of law is for. Just my thoughts.

Um, Joe; my dogs have **never** CREATED A PROBLEM OF ANY KIND **INSIDE** A
HOTEL.  My current dog did have diarrhea in the parking lot which I would
have been happy to reimburse, as I told them about it, and guess what?  The
next day, it was still there.

If a public establishment tries to charge for damages, in advance, they are
breaking the law, and I, for one, will sue, if I must to recoup my losses.

Good business practices?  I don't think so, as it is breaking the laws, both
Federal and state.
