Boyfriend visits and brings dog to my not pet friendly apartment. Any advice?

In my lease it states ';Tenant agrees not to allow or keep animals on the premises at any time. It Tenant violates this the Landlord may terminate this lease and take immediate possession of the premises.'; Then it goes on to explain that I'd have to pay $25 per day as additional rent for each animal in the place. It also says the landlord is authorized to removed the animal to a shelter at any time.





Now are all leases this strict? The problem is that my boyfriend will visit me up at school but obviously can't leave the dog alone for a night at his place. He works and will get a day off in the middle of the week and on weekend day. Do you think there'll be a problem with the dog visiting for a night a week? I don't think anyone would rat me out, it's not like the dog is there all the time. Any advice?Boyfriend visits and brings dog to my not pet friendly apartment. Any advice?
My advice: Don't risk doing it.


You cannot guarantee noone will rat you out!





You'd be in violation of your lease wilfully, which means people would think of you as a rude person who believes she's above the rules. That makes your neighbors who figure it out uncomfortable with you as a person.





It shows a lack of respect for the rules and the landlord.


It violates your lease and your boyfriend will be really unhappy when his dog is put in a shelter! An you could end up out on the street with no place to live.





Check out the cost of a kennel that would keep the dog and I think you'll find it costs more than $25 for an overnight visit.





Discuss this with your boyfriend. consider the option of asking the manager if you'd be allowed to let him bring the dog due to not being able to make other arrangements if you pay the $25/day for the overnights. That way you'll be seen as a reputable, honest person who works within the rules instead of rudely ignoring them. It makes you the good guy in the white hat, rather than the shady con artist in the black hat!





Not all leases have this kind of statement, but obviously the landlord has experience with dogs that trash his rentals. It's his right to put that into the lease, and YOU signed that you agreed to it. Violating that could cause you to end up in court, having to pay lots of $$$ for damages to the apartment and paying the lease in spite of being forced to leave because the landlord can't re-rent fast enough.





If you don't want to get the landlord's OK to have the dog visit and pay the added rent, then find a new apartment! -!-Boyfriend visits and brings dog to my not pet friendly apartment. Any advice?
Well YOU are the tenant, not your boyfriend.





To me, it appears that you would NOT be breaking your lease agreement.





Your boyfriend's dog sounds like she would be MUCH quieter and better behaved than most little visiting kids.





However, your best bet would be to ask the landlord and Get His or Her Response IN WRITING (caps are for emphasis-- I'm not yelling).
Make sure you show him the contract and he brings the dog at his own risk. The shelter thing would make me stop bringing it.





As for leaving the pooch over night. They just sleep, what's the problem of leaving the dog at home? If it's one night it should be fine. Or does he have a house without a yard?
its all up to you if you want to risk it


maybe one of your friends who lives womewhere that will allow pets will take him in for a night?
