Re: Dogs and Rentals
 

If you move in a rental property and you don't tell the landlord about your animals then they may just serve you notice straight away, which ensures you would have to go at the end of the contract period, so another move would be iminent, why lie or not mention pets, which ever way you look at it,
Better to just be honest and find the right place to begin with, notice on them.

Re: Dogs and Rentals
 

Although I see your point, I had understood from posts earlier in the thread that it is actually illegal to decline a tenant because they have pets??

Re: Dogs and Rentals
 

Illegal or not you would not be doing yourself any favours, a landlord can service notice at the beginning of the tenancy to ensure you leave at the end without a leg to stand on, so to speak, no court hearings etc, but, why would you want to be dishonest in the first place ? maybe think about how you would feel if the shoe was on the other foot !

Are you referring to rentals in Spain :confused:

Re: Dogs and Rentals
 

I don`t think that is right because where we used to live the community had statutes added to the rules saying that no animals were allowed to be kept there.

Re: Dogs and Rentals
 

If LL expresses his/her desire for no pets, you should look for another property.

Re: Dogs and Rentals
 

not necessarily

our current landlord said no pets when we first looked at it

we told him we have 2 cats - he said OK

last time he was here he was cuddling one of them & telling us all about his cats:D

Re: Dogs and Rentals
 

I have no problem when it is with LL approval. I feel it is dishonest to move in without telling your LL about your "extended family".

Re: Dogs and Rentals
 

totally agree


how the heck could you actually hide a cat or dog - or whatever - anyway!!

Re: Dogs and Rentals
 

Someone less honest than you, might view the property, sign the lease and "forget" to mention the Rotwieler until after they move in.
