Landlords and Dogs
The conventional wisdom is that dogs and apartments don't mix. This is a particularly unhappy state of affairs as households shrink, house prices rise, and more and more people live in apartments. If you haven't given up and gotten a gerbil, read on. And take heart: with a little cooperation among landlord, tenant, and dog, many dog-owning tenants can live happily in rental housing.
This section discusses how a landlord and prospective tenant can work out a lease or rental agreement that's fair to both sides. It also looks at no pets clauses in leases: when they apply and when they don't.
The Landlords and Dogs section includes
Assistance dogs. Landlords may not legally refuse to rent to disabled tenants who own trained guide, signal, or service dogs.
