Pet Deposit Confusion - What Can Landlords Charge?

I'm really confused about pet deposits in Ontario. My landlord wants a pet fee, but is that even legal? I heard something about pet deposit being illegal. Can they charge for pets or just pet rent? What are the actual rules on this? I just want to know what my rights are.
