The rules on whether you can have a pet in your apartment or not is going to depend on the landlord and some of the rules that they have in place. Some are open to it and provide some great amenities that allow you to bring your pet and live with them. While others have had a bad experience with tenants and pets in the past, and no longer allow this to happen to them again. It is always a good idea to discuss this with the landlord ahead of time to ensure that you know the rules and are willing to live by them when you sign the lease. 

There are a few ways that the landlord can choose to handle all of this. Some of the options out there include:

# The landlord allows tenants to have pets as they wish. They don’t put any restrictions on it. This may be nice for you because there are no restrictions, but it can cause some issues for the landlord, which is why most will not do that. Even if there are no clauses in the lease concerning pets, you should discuss this with the landlord before making an assumption. 

# They allow pets, but there are some restrictions. The restrictions can depend on the landlord. Some will allow only a certain number of pets, some will put limits on the breeds that you can bring in, and some will charge a security deposit or an extra amount a month in case there are damages. Talk to the landlord about this to make sure you follow their rules. 

# The landlord doesn’t allow any pets at all. With this one, the landlord just doesn’t want to deal with the pets in the first place. They have probably had some bad tenants in the past who let an animal destroy things, and so they have decided that no one is allowed to have a pet at all. If this is the case with your landlord, do not try to break the rules by bringing some pets into the property without them knowing, or you could be evicted.
