“Exposed Secrets: The Shocking Consequences of Hiding Pets from Landlords!”
The landlord still caught wind and basically said “never again or get evicted.” We never considered that the maintenance guy had to come through eventually and it’s unfortunately his job to deal with the mess if an unaccounted pet destroys the place, so it’s gonna be reported. You’d also be surprised how much your neighbors will snoop and report anything they don’t like. People love rules and hate to see others pulling a fast one to earn an advantage they don’t get.
I typically own two cats at a time, only one is ever on the lease. Without fail, I always find a duo where one is a window sitter and one is very much not. Now I have one kitty and I tried hiding her because she’s never been a window sitter. Apparently she likes window sitting now that her brother is gone. She was also extremely unfriendly before he died but loves guests now. The landlord met her on accident. Between “she’s 16 and never peed outside the litter box” and “idk what’s going on, she normally loathes guests” while shes rubbing all over him, he had no issue with her.
Put our cat in the bathroom while the landlord came over and she somehow got out and was sitting on the top of the couch directly in front of the door, thankfully landlord found it funny and said she didn’t care bc it wasn’t her rules.
In Ontario Canada landlords can refuse to rent to a new tenant with pets. But as soon as a tenant has moved in there is nothing a landlord can do to stop the tenant from getting pets.
Nothing happened at all because he found out by sneaking into my flat when I wasn’t home, so he then couldn’t reveal he knew I had a pet without also admitting he was trespassing. Moved out a few months later with no consequences of any kind.
Landlord (of half a duplex) here. Tenant adopted a dog without letting me know. He was 6 weeks behind on rent, so I told him that it was unacceptable to adopt a dog if he was behind. I used this as a catalyst to take him to court for eviction. He died before the court date and it turned out he stole the dog from his ex. She broke into his side of the house to steal the dog after he died. His son subsequently looted the house of anything of value and refused to pay any back rent or subsequent rents of the lease he was supposed to be the successor of. I cleaned the apartment of dead man furniture and dog s**t for about 16 hours straight the following weekend, and rerented it in time for the next month. Horrible.
On another note, my current tenant had a surprise lizard and ferret, but he pays on time and is generally respectful so its all good.
