sagewithin | My lease states that pets are not allowed. How can I convince my landlord to allow me to have a dog? |
I've been living in the same apartment for three years. Always pay my rent on time. Never bother my landlords with problems.
I am dying to adopt a small or medium sized dog (very allergic to cats) but my lease states that I can't have pets. I want to ask my landlord if she would allow me to have a dog, but I'm scared she will raise my rent if I do get a dog. My landlord lives off the premises, so she would not even be around the dog when I walk it.
I won't move due to this issue because I love my apartment... how should I approach my landlord about this issue? |

There's a reason why your landlord prohibits pets living in your apartment. Pets do tend to damage the place or have spills or stains in the area. Plus you have a written legal contract when you signed up to live in your apartment so you'll have to follow your landlord's rules.
With possibilities of that happening, the only way your landlord would agree to you having a pet is raising the rent or having some sort of security deposit for the pet. |

Flat out ask her, expect to pay a pet deposit if she agrees, and the possibility of pet rent (usually around 35 bucks) If she says no, don't get one anyway... Anyone sees that dog, you could get evicted... Good luck! I hope she lets you! |

You need to realize a Landlord says no pets for a few reasons and you aren't going to be happy with any of them. No matter what size dog you get, if it bites someone they can sue the homeowner. A dog can tear up the yard and the house and its not your house. The house is an investment for your landlord and will do whatever it takes to keep the investment in good condition. You can always ask, the worst she can do is say no. If you get a dog without her approval, you can be evicted and I don't think you want to do that. If she agrees to let you have a dog then you can almost count on paying a non-refundable pet deposit and possibly when your lease is up, a rent increase. Good Luck KG |

It doesn't matter if your landlord never sees the dog. It's the mess the dog can make, residues in the carpets or floors, pet dander everywhere, claw marks if it's hardwood. No matter how well you clean, if the next person who moves in is allergic there can still be enough allergens left over to cause a reaction, and the smell can linger for quite some time. Plus, there's added liability in case the dog bites someone, and if it's a child it doesn't even matter if it's the kids fault. Even though it's your dog in your apartment, it's still the landlords property which makes her liable. Double plus, there the issue of the neighbors, if your dog ends up not being friendly toward strangers, barks a lot, they're allergic to dogs, or just decides it doesn't like them, that raises more problems for the landlord.
So really, all you can do is ask. She'll probably say no, but thanks for being a good tenant. The only thing in your favor, is it sounds like your landlord isn't part of a company, so if it's just a house she owns and rents out, she might be more flexible than if you're going through a company. |

It will never hurt to ask. There is one BIG way you can get around the whole "Fair Housing" thing if the landlord throws that at ya. You can go to your Doctor and have them give you a prescription for the animal as an assistive animal as defined by the ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act). It is NO LONGER A PET, so the landlord CANNOT object to it, cannot charge any deposits or pet rent either. However, you obviously would still be responsible for any damage the animal would do.
If you are renting, I would strongly urge against this, however. You seem to have a good relationship with your landlord (or at least I would assume you do if you are as good a tenant as you say you are). Again, I would just talk to them and see if they will devise a new lease for you with the pet agreement.
GOOD LUCK |

You can not... there is something called "fair housing law"... if they let you they have to let EVERY ONE! |

Ask if it would OK ok to raise a Seeing eye dog or a special need dog but you must train them and give them up for someone to use in one year. In some place they have to accommodate this due to ADA, but if he feels that his hand is being forces by the man he will find a way to get you out. |

Money hun money, offer money. It's what really motivates business owners. Why would he want to risk replacing the smelly carpet unless you offer to pay for new carpet upon your leaving the apartment. (thats an example of pet damage) It's all about money. |

You should not ask to have a pet. You should be respectful is what you should do. |

since you signed the lease you can't really change it and the landlord is just there to enforce the lease. You would have to go to the owners of the apartment and see if you can get a change of lease but most likely you will have to wait for the next lease and then negotiate pet terms....good luck....i love dogs so i hope it works out! |
