Are pet deposits legal in Ontario? Know your rights!

I'm considering renting a place in Toronto that allows pets, but I've heard mixed things about pet deposits. Can landlords legally charge a pet deposit? What are the limits, and what should I expect in terms of fees? I want to ensure I'm not overpaying or getting hit with unexpected costs.
