I would say Prohibition of a Christmas's tress is a reach. Let's but it this way you and the landlord are tied to the four corners of the lease. I am sure the lease states no pets, smoking, illegal drugs, but besides that if the lease does not prohibit explicitly Christmas tree then unless the action thing would cause damage to house I would say no |

Nope, not unless it's in your lease agreement. I used to be a community manager and there is nothing they can ban you from doing or having unles it's written in a lease agreement and signed by both parties. Good luck. |

It has to be written in the lease agreement. Sounds as if he is infringing on your religious beliefs with his. Tell him you will get an attorney to enforce yours if he doesn`t back off.
He also is not allowed to come into your apartment without notifying you. |

As long as it isn't illegal or reasonably likely to cause damage, depreciation or other adverse consequences to the landlord, no. Of course that can be a matter of perspective. But if it isn't explicitly written into the contract, you can pretty much do whatever. Common things like waterbeds, candles, incense can be disputed by a landlord, but if it isn't written, then they can't force you to not have one. Unless like in the case of a waterbed, they can show building codes that a waterbed would violate, then they can ask you to remove it without it being written in the contract. That would come under reasonably likely to cause damage, due to the building code. |

depends... some wont allow waterbeds. pets,smoking, fishtanks etc... i dont allow stand up halogen lights. they burn down to many houses with careless people. so it depends. they can write whatever they want in there for the most part.. if you sign it... its a contract. but at the same point...some landlords get insane....so there are some things you can fight... but i think if you hjave to fight those issues when you are signing... it tells you alot about how the landlord will be towards you and the property...too many rules... more than likely not fun to rent from |

Is it a real tree? He's probably concerned about the fire hazard.
If it is real you need to get an artificial one. It's safer and more prudent. |

mmmmmm.......No. dont think so. But id read over the lease... |

You sign a paper and read the find print, make sure you read REAL careful. If it says some things like watch your room temp, you have to. It's stupid, but the truth. I suggest you move somewhere with the minimum requirements. I hate places like that. Well, have fun, I guess.... |

Christmas tree is tricky... that might be in the lease in some weird way, like "hazardous electric lighting" or something. They can be a fire danger, so it depends what specific clauses are in your lease about fire hazards. You might be able to negotiate by not putting lights directly on the tree, or having a living tree (so it's not likely to get dry and brittle) in a pot... |

Not unless it is on the lease. Specifically! I just don't understand that. I would do it anyway. What is he going to do?? Check?! |

It's not one of those new-fangled ones that hangs from the ceiling, is it? I've heard of them, but never seen one. If it is, give us your address so we can drive by and see it. It's supposed to be easier to put more presents under it this way, but does require securing it to the ceiling - that might be what he's against.
Have you ever seen a real tree burn? I'll never have one in my house again. We've got a nice artificial one that looks real. No, we didn't have a fire - in college, my roommate and I took the fraternity's tree in January and cut it up and burned it in the fireplace. They go fast and hot! |

He want to tell you what? No he cannot tell you that you can't have a Christmas tree. That's a violation of your rights.
What a jerk. He must be anti-christmas. |

If the items cause a disturbance to other tenants, or are inherently dangerous or illegal then he has every right to restrict them.
Anything that would cause damage to the unit is also restrictable.
Read your lease, it will explain what is and isn't allowed. If something is not on the lease then you can contest the landlord's decision. |

It depends on the contract. and if you're gonna be IN your house you can do whatever you want. |

Yes..... Except for discrimination as to, race, religion etc.; a landlord can stipulate what you can and cannot do in your lease. Remember it is his property and he has the right to protect it. |
|

Yes and no. Technically it's the landlord's property, so if you own something that could potentially damage the apartment, then he has the right to tell you it's not allowed. However, if he tells you you cannot have a green couch, a king sized bed, a decorative rug.. that's a bit overboard. He might tell you not to hang things on the wall, no curtain rods, no painting, no dangerous lamps, etc. |

bam....
|
A waterbed....all I can think of |

It depends on your lease, and if you don't have a lease then your a tenant at will which means basically he can get you out alot quicker, you don't say what he says you can't have, if its parties and loud music well you lose he has the right to keep his property and it's value up |
|

If it is stipulated in your lease, maybe. Things such as waterbeds or other people may be forbidden.
That would qualify as religious discrimination and be illegal. |
