What Happens If I Sneak In My Dog?

Question

If I rent a unit that doesn't allow pets but sneak in my dog what happens if they find out?

Answer 1

They can give you notice to vacate the apartment for breach of contract.

Answer 2

Well most likely you will lose your unit, but if you were honest with them they actually might let you keep it? What type of dog is it? And how long are you planning to stay?

Answer 3

they will give you a warning to remove the dog,

or

they will ask you to excuse the property as it is against their rules,

i say go for it :)

sneak in that dog

Answer 4

If you break the terms of your contract, I believe they can evict you.

Is there any way you can reason with them?  Usually landlords don't want pets because there are rugs that might get destroyed, pets might chew on doors, etc. or they might be worried about liability issues (if your dog bites someone on their property).  I would talk to your landlord to see if you can come to an agreement, or find another place.

Answer 5

They evict you and sue you for damages, lots and lots of damages.   New landscaping.   New carpeting.   Maybe even new doors.    The limit is 10k and they can manage to get all of that.

Answer 6

If your place where you live does not allow pets like a dog

and you sneak it in

they ( caretaker and landlord )

You could be given a notice to give you a chance to get rid of the dog.

If you refuse you could be evicted.

Answer 7

no problem man., keep it secret when u bring pets

Answer 8

If it's a unit I wouldn't even try.  There's ALWAYS a nosy neighbour.  My mother brought her dog around for 1 night (she couldn't find a dog-sitter and I'd just had a baby) in a rented townhouse and the real estate had had 2 complaints within 3 hours!  People that live in units LOVE their rules and regulations - you won't get away with it and will probably be evicted.

Answer 9

There are a number of things that may happen.  Firstly your agent may never find out and you may get away with it... BUT the likelihood is that they will find out so it's simply not worth it.  You may receive a warning (if the owner/strata plan / agent is nice) or alternatively the landlord may seek to have you removed from the property.

We had a tenant who recently had their mothers dog stay with them for a weekend... not a particularly bright spark as he let the dog go in the pool which was common area.  Strata was angry, the owner was angry, the tenant got the boot.

If you do not have prior written consent from the owner and owners corporation if it is strata then you would be in breach of your lease / by laws for strata and could be evicted.

If your owner lets you keep the dog then you would be responsible for carpet cleaning and pest spraying.  I would say don't risk it though!

Answer 10

They will ask you to get rid of the dog if you're lucky.  If not, they will ask you to leave and if you don't they'll evict you and probably get a judgment against you for their costs to evict you.

It's a bad idea.  Finding a new place and moving is really hard and a total hassle and doing this just sets you up for it.  I mean really, you do have to walk the dog.  Believe me, your neighbors WILL notice.

Cats are easier to hide.

Answer 11

They can evict you.
